SECURITY.EXIT | SECURITY = module name | (module name,DATASET|ALL,PSTKT) | (module name,DATASET|ALL) | OFF
This parameter specifies the name of the IBM® Connect:Direct® exit which performs security checking. A sample security exit, DGAMGSAF, is provided in the $CD.SDGASAMP library. You can modify this exit if it does not meet your security requirements.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| module name | A name 1–8 alphanumeric characters long, with the first character alphabetic. |
| DATASET | Specifies that the exit is invoked only for file security; the IBM Connect:Direct Authorization Facility is used for access (signon) security. |
| ALL | Specifies that the exit is invoked for file and access security. |
| PSTKT | Indicates that the local DTF IBM RACF security is defined to accept IBM RACF PassTicket passwords. For more information, see Generating IBM RACF PassTickets . |
| OFF | Specifies that no security exists; all requests are valid. |
- SECURITY.EXIT = module name
- SECURITY.EXIT = (module name,DATASET,PSTKT)
- SECURITY.EXIT = (module name,ALL,PSTKT)
- SECURITY.EXIT = (module name,DATASET)
- SECURITY.EXIT = (module name,ALL)
- SECURITY.EXIT = OFF
If you do not specify the SECURITY.EXIT parameter or it is commented out of the initialization parameters file, customized security is not performed and the IBM Connect:Direct Authorization Facility (AUTH file) is used.
For the first installation of IBM Connect:Direct for z/OS®, specify SECURITY.EXIT = OFF until a security exit is installed.
A user must be defined on all nodes involved in Process execution.
The default is the IBM Connect:Direct Authorization Facility.
