Security resource definitions listed by product
The SERDEFL view lists resource definition members that reside in a security parameter library (BBSECURE by default). Selecting a member from SERDEFL shows a description of each resource as modified, if necessary, in that definition in the SERDEF view. TheEnhanced Securityinterface uses the information from this view to build the authorization request that it makes to your ESM. These authorization requests for common and product-specific resources are shown in this section by:
- Type of default resource viewed with SERDEF
- Type of authorization request passed to your ESM
BMC AMI Ops products generally have from one to five default resource entity names that control all the resources for the product. To enable or disable all security for a product, you need only disable or enable the appropriate high-level resources:
- Any Action
- Default - Specific Table Actions
- Default - Alter Data Set
- Default - Any Table Actions
- Default - Table Data
The resource tables list the security resources that are protected by eachBMC AMI Opsproduct. For each resource, the table shows the following information:
Resource name in SERDEF view | The name of the resource as it appears in the SERDEF resource definition view |
|---|---|
Default entity name | The entity name that is shared by a set of similar resources and is used for high-level control of the entire set |
Entity name after substitution | The entity name for a particular resource with any substituted symbolic values |
For a description of how the symbolics are used, see Resource-naming-convention.
The security class name for all resources, unless otherwise indicated, is $BBM, which is transformed by default to the external resource class FACILITY.
