STEP 2

Determine the facility’s mode and attributes.

TSS MODIFY('FAC(fac)')

Is facility in WARN MODE with the NOWARNPW attribute?

• If YES, consider that WARN mode, in combination with NOWARNPW, allows a user to bypass password security checking. Consider using the TSS PERMIT command to move the user to a more restrictive security mode, IMPL or FAIL. This prohibits a user from accessing a facility unless explicitly authorized. Or assign the WARNPW attribute to the facility and TSS MODIFY('FAC(fac= WARNPW)'). This forces defined users and jobs to enter their correct passwords while in WARN mode.
• If NO, go to STEP 3.
