CA Mainframe Connector for Linux on System Z Security Requirements

You require access to UNIX System Services (USS).

When you prepare your z/OS task for startup, the following authorities are required on your system:

You have the READ authority to data sets with a prefix of CAI.*.
You have the UPDATE authority to the following data sets or libraries:
- Started task PROCLIB that stores the run-time JCL job, for example, SYS1.PROCLIB
- SYS1.PARMLIB to APF-authorize run-time load libraries
- Master catalog, a requirement if you intend to define alias entries for data set prefixes

When you prepare your z/VM agents for startup, the UPDATE authority to the system directory is required on your z/VM systems.

When you install and prepare your Linux agents for startup, root permissions are required on your Linux systems.
