SmartTrace Security

SmartTrace lets you view IP packets as they flow into and out of a z/OS system, and provides instant access to the IP packet data.

Because IP packets can contain sensitive data, access to the data portion (that is, the data after the IP, TCP, and UDP headers) should be restricted to only those users who need to view the data in an IP packet.

To ensure that access to this data is correctly secured, CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP utilizes the capabilities of the z/OS security package that is installed on your system (for example, CA ACF2 for z/OS, CA Top Secret for z/OS, or RACF).

Note: For more information, see the Security Guide.
