Setting Up the Packet Analyzer › User ID Associations

User ID Associations

A security exit associates user IDs with IP connections. This association makes it easier to diagnose problems because a user is more likely to know their mainframe user ID than their IP address.

User ID associations are collected from the following connections:

• Telnet connections—if CA SOLVE:Access is used
• Telnet connections—if installation exits are used
• FTP connections on CA TCPaccess CS for z/OS
• FTP connections after a file transfer (GET/PUT) on an IBM TCP/IP stack

Note: To obtain the user ID information, the exit must know the LU name that is associated with a Telnet connection. Not all applications pass the LU name to the exit. In which case, no user ID correlation can be accomplished.
