Error description

  • This PTF will upgrade the existing DSCLI for zOS bundle to the
    version specified in the sysmod title.
    

Local fix

  • This version of dscli includes support for passtickets which
    introduces a new command
    managepassticket
    
    In order to use the feature the standard credentials need to
    be used initially, then issue the command with the parameter
    -key and pass in the passticket key
    the command also needs a second parameter
    -appname LDAPSRV
    
    Once this command is run the dscli will automatically update
    the folder profile/dscli.profile
    
    This file needs to be manually copied to the users home
    directory. For example if the home directory is /
    cp /opt/IBM/CSMDSCLI/profile/dscli.profile /dscli/profile/hmc_id
    
    where hmd_id is the shortname used for the hmc.
    
    The next time the dscli is invoked use the following format
    to use the passticket
    dscli -hmc1 your.hmc.dns.name -cfg hmc_id -user YOUR_USER
    
    The dscli will now calculate the passticket from the key and
    and user credential use this TOTP to authenticate to the
    HMC.
