Troubleshooting


Problem

Use this document to determine the current security level of a system.

Resolving The Problem

To determine the actual security level of a system, do one of the following:


Running the DSPSECA command shows the following screen:
 
User ID number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   2840
 Group ID number  . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   177  
 Security level . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   40  
   Pending security level . . . . . . . . . :     50  
 Password level . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   0    
 Allow change of security related system            
   values . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *YES
 Allow add of digital certificates  . . . . :   *YES
 Allow service tools user ID with default            
   and expired password to change its own            
   password . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *YES

If the actual security level is the same as the QSECURITY system value, the 'Pending security level' is not displayed.

At any release:

On the operating system command line, type the following:

DMPSYSOBJ QSYUPTBL QSYS TYPE(0E) SUBTYPE(C5)

Press the Enter key. Then, type the following:

WRKSPLF

Press the Enter key. In the index entries:

QSECURITY entry at offset '21'X,
'0032'X = level 50
'0028'X = level 40
'001E'X = level 30
'0014'X = level 20
'000A'X = level 10
