Top Secret OPENMVS Facility Used With SSHDAEM and SSHD

Products

• Top Secret - LDAP

Issue/Introduction

SSHDAEM and SSHD are using the OPENMVS facility, however, when listing the region acid for these, FACILITY = OPENMVS is not seen on the user ACID, any attached profiles, or the ALL record. Why are these using facility OPENMVS and how are the ACIDs getting access to this facility? 

Environment

Release: TOPSEC00200-15-Top Secret-Security
Component:

Resolution

Top Secret is designed to use the OPENMVS facility for work running under a BPXAS initiator. SSHD and SSHDAEM run under the BPXAS initiator, so that is why they are using OPENMVS. If a different facility is to be used for these, add a MASTFAC(fac) of the facility to be used to the region acid for these started tasks. 

FAC(OPEMVS) does not have to be added to any users. The authority for FAC(OPENMVS) is automatically given to all users.
