IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS, Version 6.2

Activating the SAF Command Authorization

Activate command security defined in the NETCMDS class in your SAF product by entering:

 REFRESH CMDAUTH=SAF,BACKTBL=SECTABLE

In this example, a NetView® command authorization table named SECTABLE is used to protect immediate commands, and to backup the SAF product.

When you are certain that you do not want to use the NetView command authorization table as the primary type of command security, add the following statement to the CNMSTUSR or CxxSTGEN member:

SECOPTS.CMDAUTH = SAF.sec_table

To check your command authorization settings, use the NetView LIST SECOPTS commands to display the messages indicating that you are using an SAF product with a backup NetView command authorization table as shown in the following example:
