Security Issues

The USS servers must have sufficient authority in the USS segment of their security profiles to perform the types of USS commands desired for automation applications. The authority required may range from basic user to super user. Before you attempt to activate the USS feature, consult your security administrator.

If you encounter failures to execute desired commands, it may be due to the lack of execute authority for that command or inaccessibility to the directory containing the command. Unlike the OSF TSO servers, which dynamically modify the security environment to the authority of the command issuer, USS servers execute all commands with the current authority of the server. Therefore, the only way to restrict the types of USS commands that a particular user may issue is with AOF security rules.
