Granting authorizations to ts-shell users

You can authorize each ts-shell user to connect to specific target systems.

About this task

A user can connect to a target system for which both the user and ts-shell itself is authorized.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to specify the target systems to which specific ts-shell users are authorized to connect:
  1. With your preferred editor, open /etc/iucvterm/ts-authorization.conf.
  2. Specify the authorization statements for your users and user groups.
    Tip: The s390-tools package includes a sample user authorization file. The location is similar to /usr/share/doc/packages/s390-tools-<version>/ts-shell/authorization-sample.conf. The value of <version> and whether /packages is present or absent in the path depend on your distribution.
  3. Save and close the configuration file.
