Using Zsecure, how do I prevent the help desk people from resetting a password ID when the ID being reset has Special, Operations or Auditor. We are new to Zsecure.

Hi Kent,

At present, CKGRACF does not provide the ability to control password reset actions over userids with the Special, Operations and/or Auditor priviliges. You can control that via IRR.** profiles in the FACILITY class. See the RACF SAG chapter 25 for details. Make sure to use the SAG for z/OS 1.11 as that version is updated with information form APAR OA26302.

HTH,

Giovanni

Giovanni, thanks for the reply. We are using ZOS 1.9 and had been using Vanguard as an admin product. I will check out the other avenues.

Kent, we protect 'special' folks by simply assigning them to a unique, administrative (#) owner group. In your policy profiles, prevent the helpdesk groups from being able to change the passwords for the 'special' groups.

Hope this helps,

Everyone, thanks for your help, as we do not have command verifier active yet we went through the CKG.SCP.G and CKG.SCP.ID type profiles. Our testing looks good so far.
