Define RSE as a secure z/OS UNIX server

RSE requires UPDATE access to the BPX.SERVER profile to create or delete the security environment for the client's thread. Note that using UID(0) to bypass this requirement is not supported. This step is required for clients to be able to connect.

  • RDEFINE FACILITY BPX.SERVER UACC(NONE)
  • PERMIT BPX.SERVER CLASS(FACILITY) ACCESS(UPDATE) ID(STCRSE)
  • SETROPTS RACLIST(FACILITY) REFRESH
Attention: Defining the BPX.SERVER (or BPX.DAEMON) 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).
