Implementing security

To secure 

BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS

, BMC recommends that you use your existing site external security manager that uses the z/OS system authorization facility (SAF) interface.

SAF passes security requests to external security managers (ESMs). SAF security supports the IBM RACF product and the CA Technologies CA-ACF2 and CA-Top Secret products.

Profile names define product resources that are secured by an ESM through the SAF interface. The following books provide the information that you need to secure BMC AMI OpsM for CICS resources with an ESM:

Warning

Note

Most of the full-screen displays from earlier versions are no longer available in version 6.9 of the BMC AMI OpsM for CICS product.  

The proprietary security macro, CMRSECU, which you used to protect the action commands from full-screen displays and accessing these displays, is not supported in this version. Support for the CMRSECU macro was withdrawn in version 6.5. Any existing CMRSECU settings will still work in this release as a compatibility measure only.  

If you are still using this macro, you must migrate your security definitions to your site's external security manager, which uses the IBM z/OS system authorization facility (SAF) interface.
