ECFSECURITY Parameter

The ECFSECURITY parameter determines the level of security for ECF.

Default value

CHECKPASSWORD

This value causes CA OPS/MVS to check both the TSO user ID and the password specified in the ECF logon command.

Other possible values

• NOSECURITY

  This value makes any console eligible to log onto ECF; CA OPS/MVS performs no TSO user ID or password checking.

• CHECKUSERID

  This value causes CA OPS/MVS to verify the TSO user ID specified in the ECF logon command. The specified password is ignored.

Notes:

• The CHECKUSERID and default CHECKPASSWORD settings are valid only when you start the ECF under JES or when a security product is active on your system.
• If you specify either CHECKPASSWORD or CHECKUSERID, the ECF session has only the privileges of the TSO user ID.
