Activating user security

Edit online

To enable security for the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, you must configure the appropriate security system in the runtime environment. This ensures secure validation and access control for monitoring operations.

About this task

After you have performed all the steps listed above, you can turn on user security at the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.

Procedure

  1. If you have already specified a security system for the runtime environment where the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is installed and configured, skip to step 3. Otherwise, navigate in the Configuration Tool to the Runtime Environments (RTEs) panel (See figure: Runtime Environments (RTEs) panel: Configuration Tool) and enter U (Update) in the Action field beside the name of the runtime environment where the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is installed and configured.
  2. On the Update Runtime Environment panel, specify the security system you want to use, and press Enter. This example specifies RACF:
    Security system ==> RACF (RACF, ACF2, TSS, NAM, None)

    If you select ACF2, you must also specify the ACF2 macro library in the next field.

  3. On the Product Component Selection Menu (See figure: Product Component Selection Menu: Configuration Tool), enter 1 to select Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
  4. On the Configure the TEMS menu (See figure: Configure the TEMS menu: Configuration Tool), select option 2 (Specify configuration values).
  5. On the Specify Configuration Values panel (See figure: Specify Configuration Values panel: Configuration Tool), specify Y in the Security validation? field:
    Security validation? ==> Y (Y, N)
  6. Press Enter to return to the Configure the TEMS menu.
  7. On the Configure the TEMS menu, select option 4 (Create runtime members) to open JCL that you can review, edit, and submit. Check to make sure the return code is zero.
  8. After the job completes, press F3 (Back) repeatedly to exit the Configuration Tool.
  9. Locate the section for the security system you are using and follow the instructions:
  10. Verify that the user account you created, using a TSO user ID, can log on to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
