IRRH502I
RACF attempts to assign unique UNIX IDs when users or groups that do not have OMVS segments use certain z/OS UNIX services.

Explanation

The RACF UNIX identity check has determined that you want RACF® to assign unique UNIX IDs when users or groups without OMVS segments use certain z/OS® UNIX services. Assigning unique UNIX identities rather than shared identities improves overall security and increases user accountability.

RACF automatically assigns unique UNIX identities for z/OS UNIX services when all of the following requirements are satisfied:
  1. The RACF database is enabled for application identity mapping (AIM) stage 3.
  2. The UNIXPRIV class profile SHARED.IDS is defined and the UNIXPRIV class is active and RACLISTed.
  3. The FACILITY class profile BPX.NEXT.USER is defined and its APPLDATA field has valid ID values or ranges.
  4. The FACILITY class profile BPX.UNIQUE.USER is defined.

See z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide for more information about enabling RACF for automatic assignment of unique UNIX identities.

The check produces a report listing the requirements for this support. An "E" in the "S" (Status) column indicates that a requirement is not satisfied. For example, if the RACF database has not been enabled for AIM stage 3, this requirement is flagged as an exception. If the "S" field is blank, the requirement is satisfied. If there are no exceptions indicated in the Status column, all requirements are satisfied.
Note: The check validates that the FACILITY class profile BPX.NEXT.USER APPLDATA field is present, not that it has valid ID values or ranges.
