Steps for granting authority to start CSSMTP

Define explicit authority for all user IDs that you want to be able to start CSSMTP.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to grant authority to a user ID to start CSSMTP:

Ensure that the OPERCMDS class is active and RACLISTed, and that RACLIST processing is enabled.
Define the OPERCMDS class profile using a security product like RACF®.
Grant CSSMTP access to the OPERCMDS class and then refresh the OPERCMDS class.

Results

Depending on how you start CSSMTP, some RACF profiles that restrict who can issue the START, CANCEL, MODIFY, or STOP operator commands are as follows:

MVS.START.STC.CSSMTP.*
MVS.START.STC.CSSMTP

MVS.CANCEL.STC.CSSMTP.*
MVS.CANCEL.STC.CSSMTP

MVS.MODIFY.STC.CSSMTP.*
MVS.MODIFY.STC.CSSMTP

MVS.STOP.STC.CSSMTP.*
MVS.STOP.STC.CSSMTP
