  2. Type or verify values in the following fields:
    • Security File Data Set
      The name of the current security file that the Fast Path/EP products found when they searched the STEPLIB, JOBLIB, and LNKLST concatenation. This data set contains the user IDs and authorization levels that are defined for Fast Path/EP internal security.
    • Loadlib for Security module
      The data set name of the load library that will contain the security module.
  3. (optional) You can change the name of the internal security file or place the internal security module in a different load library by performing one of the following actions:
    • Repeat 2. When the job completes, check the job output for the following message:

         SECURITY MODULE HAS BEEN MODIFIED
    • Use the Set Security Control panel if an internal security module exists and your user ID is authorized (with the PFMSEC entity in the internal security file).
  4. When the security file has been created, use ISPF Edit to display and modify the records in the internal security file as needed:
    • External Security Definition
      The current status of the usage switch or the resource class name. To change the displayed values, see Implementing-external-security.
    • RACF Switch On
      Indicates whether external security is active.
    • RACF Class Len
      The length of the general resource class name.
    • RACF Class Name
      Indicates the general resource class name to be used by the Fast Path/EP product when requesting authorization from the external security software. The default resource class name is PFM0.
