Implementing Security with IBM RACF › Define the CA WA CA 7 Edition Started Task to RACF

Define the CA WA CA 7 Edition Started Task to RACF

The ADDUSER command is used under RACF to define a new user and to associate that user with an existing RACF defined group.

This command has the following format:

  ADDUSER CA7ONL NAME('CA 7 ONLINE') OWNER(CA7GROUP) PASSWORD(CA7ONL)

ADDUSER

Identifies the RACF command used to define a new user to RACF.

CA7ONL

Identifies the name chosen in this example for the CA WA CA 7 Edition USERID that is associated with the CA WA CA 7 Edition started task.

NAME('CA 7 ONLINE')

Identifies the RACF parameter used to describe the USERID.

OWNER(CA7GROUP)

Identifies the predefined owning group for the CA WA CA 7 Edition USERID profile. The group or USERID used in the OWNER parameter must already be defined to RACF.

PASSWORD(CA7ONL)

Identifies the password chosen in this example for the CA WA CA 7 Edition USERID. This keyword provides an additional level of security for the CA WA CA 7 Edition started task ID. If no password is specified, the password defaults to the owning group name that is sometimes available to unauthorized personnel.
