NOMASK on SERVAUTH Resource Class Considered Generic

Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

When displaying SERVAUTH, it has the attribute of NOMASK.

Would it prevent from using EZB. as a generic resource name, and therefore have to define specific rules such as EZB.STACKACCESS.SYSD.TCIPIP, and EZB.INITSTACK.SYSD.TCPIP

Resolution

If you see NONGENERIC, then you can not use it as a prefix or generic.

NOMASK means you can't use masking characters and that's all.

Prefixing/generic still can be used with NOMASK. If GENERIC attribute doesn't show up the TSS LIST at an attribute, GENERIC is implied.
