Issue/Introduction



Does our started task for LDAP Server require super user authority? It currently has that authority, but we need to justify it or remove it. I don't see this requirement specified in the installation guide, but just want to confirm it's not needed before we remove it. 

Environment

Release:
Component: TSSLDP

Resolution

The UID for the LDAP server acid can be any unique value as long as the BPX permissions defined in the CDT9ACID jobstream are granted. The CDT9ACID job from the CDT9JCL library is the job to define the started task acid for CA LDAP Server for z/OS. The BPX permissions are as follows:

TSS PERMIT(ldapacid) IBMFAC(BPX.FILE) ACCESS(READ) 
TSS PERMIT(ldapacid) IBMFAC(BPX.SERVER) ACCESS(UPDATE) 
TSS PERMIT(ldapacid) IBMFAC(BPX.DAEMON) ACCESS(READ) 
TSS PERMIT(ldapacid) IBMFAC(BPX.CONSOLE) ACCESS(READ) 
TSS PERMIT(ldapacid) IBMFAC(BPX.STOR.SWAP) ACCESS(READ)
