LDAP SERVER FOR Z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Attempting to execute RACF commands via LDAP using the CMDLINE parameter fails:

cmdline=DEFINE ALIAS(NAME XXXXXXXX) RELATE(USERCAT.CATXXX))

This command returned the following error message:

LDP1999E Error issuing command with R_Admin, <>

 

Resolution

The command line processing is only for ESM (RACF, ACF2 and Top Secret) commands. Define Alias is a z/OS command not an ESM command.

There is a Broadcom LDAP parameter that will create an alias when a TSO user is setup called CreateAlias. More details can be found in LDAP documentation section Database-Specific Options (RACF).
