General requirements for CICSPlex SM security

Review your RACF® configurations to ensure that your systems meet the minimum requirements.

  • The IDs for all users expected to use CICSPlex® SM must be defined to RACF in each MVS system in which there is a CMAS. For each individual user, the ID must be the same for each MVS system.
  • User access authority to CICSPlex SM definitions and CICS® commands and resources must be defined to RACF in a consistent manner in all MVS systems used by CICSPlex SM.

In addition, in the CMAS address space, a security environment is created for the user specified in the DFLTUSER system initialization parameter associated with the MAS.
