Adding a user ID password file to NAM

About this task

If you are defining passwords for a large number of users, you might want to use the following procedure to set up a file containing all your NAM SET statements and execute the file once to define all passwords.

Procedure

  1. Access rhilev.rte.RKANCMDU and create member userids.
  2. Edit userids, and populate it with a NAM SET command for each user who will access your Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.

    Example:

    NAM SET userid1 PASSWORD=password1
    NAM SET userid2 PASSWORD=password2
    NAM SET userid3 PASSWORD=password3
    Note: Make sure there is sufficient security on the rhilev.rte.RKANCMDU library, as it now contains sensitive information. Also, be careful to ensure that the "userids" file is managed properly to avoid deletion by mistake (i.e. backup etc.), as this file is not part of the member generation process of the respective configuration method.
  3. To execute member userids, enter this command from the z/OS® system console:
    F cccccccc,userids

    where cccccccc is the name of your Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server started task.
