Define the OPSYS Administrator ID With RACF

The server administrator ID requires an OMVS segment.

To define the server administrator ID with RACF:

  1. Have the Security Administrator issue the following RACF commands:
    ADDUSER iadmin PASSW(xxxx)
    
    DFLTGRP(ISRVGRP)
    
    OMVS(UID(8) HOME('/u/iadmin') PROGRAM('/bin/sh)')
    
    TSO(ACCTNUM(12345) PROC(PROC01))
  2. Verify that the ADDUSER command completed successfully by issuing the following command, and be sure that the command is available to the iadmin ID:
    [TSO] LISTUSER iadmin OMVS NORACF

    You should receive the following response:

    USER=iadmin
    
    OMVS INFORMATION
    
    ------------------------------
    
    UID=0000000008
    
    HOME=/u/iadmin
    
    PROGRAM=/bin/sh
  3. A Security Administrator must update the Facility classes of RACF, using the following commands issued with ISPF Option 6:
    RDEFINE FACILITY BPX.FILEATTR.APF  UACC(NONE)
    
    PERMIT BPX.FILEATTR.APF CL(FACILITY) ID(iadmin) ACCESS(READ)
  4. Refresh the RACF Facility class so that these commands will take effect.
    SETROPTS RACLIST(FACILITY) REFRESH
  5. Continue by verifying the server administrator ID, as described in Verify the OPSYS Administrator ID.
