Defining Debug Manager as a secure z/OS UNIX server

Debug Manager requires UPDATE access to the BPX.SERVER profile to create or delete the security environment for the debug thread.
Note: Using UID(0) to bypass this requirement is not supported.
This permit is required only when the Debug Manager feature is used.
  • RDEFINE FACILITY BPX.SERVER UACC(NONE)
  • PERMIT BPX.SERVER CLASS(FACILITY) ACCESS(UPDATE) ID(STCDBM)
  • SETROPTS RACLIST(FACILITY) REFRESH
Attention: Defining the BPX.SERVER profile makes z/OS® UNIX as a whole switch from UNIX level security to z/OS UNIX level security, which is more secure. This switch might impact other z/OS UNIX applications and operations. Test the security before activating it on a production system. For more information about the different security levels, see UNIX System Services Planning (GA22-7800).
