TSO events
This event occurs when a TSO command runs. A rule for this event can accept or reject the request or allow the security product to determine if the request is allowed.
Return values
When a TSO event ends, the rule sets a return value. The server evaluates the return value and invokes z/OS® security routines.
| Return value | Description |
|---|---|
| ACCEPT | Access to the requested resource is allowed, and additional processing by the z/OS security subsystem is not performed. |
| REJECT | Access to the requested resource is denied, and additional processing by the z/OS security subsystem is not performed. The rule can include the ATH.OPAUERMG variable, which for most authorization requests, returns an error message to the requestor. |
| Any other value | If another value or no value is returned, the z/OS security subsystem performs validation checking. The security product makes the final determine to allow or deny access to the requested resource. |
TSO variables are used for authorization of events that pertain to execution of a TSO command.
