Define Remote Background User IDs

When regions are linked, you want to permit a remote region background user (nnnnBSYS) to log on to the local region. Define the remote background user ID to the local region.

Follow these steps:

• Define the remote nnnnBSYS user ID to the local region UAMS.

  For products that use the link and synchronize process to link regions, the remote region user ID is automatically added to UAMS during synchronization. If this process fails or links are established manually, the nnnnBSYS user must be added manually. Assign the user ID to group $RMBUSER.

• Define the remote nnnnBSYS user ID as a user to the external security package. No password is required:
  • For CA ACF2, use the following commands:

    ACF
    SET LID
    INSERT nnnnBSYS NAME(bsys_user_name) PASSWORD(NOPW)
    

  • For CA Top Secret, use the following command:

    TSS CRE(nnnnBSYS) TYPE(USER) DEPT(dept_acid) NAME('bsys_user_name') PASS(NOPW,0)
    

  • For RACF, use the following command:

    ADDUSER nnnnBSYS NAME('bsys_user_name')
    

  bsys_user_name specifies a text string to identify the user (for example, BSYS User 1).
