How CA-GSS Chooses a User ID for an IMOD

Type of IMOD

How CA‑GSS Determines the User ID

IMODs that support operator commands

If you have defined a user ID through the COMMAND parameter in the PARMLIB data set, CA‑GSS uses it. Otherwise, CA‑GSS uses its default user ID.

IMODs triggered by WTOs

If you have defined a user ID through the WTO parameter in the PARMLIB data set, CA‑GSS uses it. If not, CA‑GSS tries to determine and use the user ID of the WTO issuer. As a last resort, CA‑GSS uses its default user ID.

Note: During execution, an IMOD task may switch user IDs by supplying a new user ID and its associated password to the SECURITY() function.

WTO‑triggered IMODs with ASID numbers matching those on the MONITOR command

CA‑GSS tries to determine and use the user ID of the WTO issuer. Otherwise, CA‑GSS uses its default user ID.

IMODs supporting the Logon Facility

If a user ID and password are provided, CA‑GSS uses them. Otherwise, CA‑GSS uses its default user ID.

Server IMOD

CA‑GSS uses the user ID of the IMOD that started it.

ADDRESS environments and subtasks

CA‑GSS uses the user ID of the IMOD that invokes them.

Note: If a subtask is reassigned to another IMOD, the user ID changes.
