Work with system security

Select Work with system security from the Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display or the System Service Tools (SST) display to manage system security options. There are three settings that can be changed on the Work with System Security display:

Allow system value security changes

This option controls whether CHGSYSVAL can be used to change security-related system values (see the onscreen help for a list of these values).

Allow new digital certificates

This option controls whether the Add Verifier (QYDOADDV) API can add digital certificates and also whether passwords for digital certificate stores can be reset.

Allow a service tools user ID with a default and expired password to change its own password

This option controls whether service tools user IDs with a default or expired password can change their password during SST sign-on or with the QSYCHGDS API. When set to 'No,' the password can only be changed from DST or by using the QSYCHGDS API with a requesting user that has the necessary authority.
