Password protecting the /LOCK, /UNLOCK, and /SET commands

For the /LOCK, /UNLOCK, and /SET commands you can implement password security to protect LTERMs, databases, programs, and transactions.

Perform the following tasks to check the password and enforce password security using RACF® or an exit routine:

Procedure

  1. Define the resource to be protected by using the appropriate RACF security class: LIMS, PIMS, IIMS, or TIMS.
  2. Define the user IDs that you want to have access to the resource in the RACF security class that defines the resource. The user IDs must be the same user IDs that are used to sign on to the terminal from which the /LOCK, /UNLOCK, or /SET command is issued.
  3. In the DFSDCxxx PROCLIB member, specify LOCKSEC=Y.
  4. In a DBCTL only environment, the /LOCK command cannot be secured with password protection.
