MFA User Segment alerts

Hello IBM, Our team thinks the addition of MFA segment related user alerts would benefit zSecure. Currently there are no alerts for adding or deleting MFA Segments on the mainframe and we believe that the addition of this alert would be beneficial...

Legthen the syslog receiver address.

We have an automatically generated DNS scheme that creates Domain Names longer than the allowed field in the Unix Syslog Receiver address(es) area. It is possible others may have multiple IP addresses or long names as well, thus the current limita...

Allow zSecure Alert to run a REXX command when an alert is generated.

Currently Alert will allow us to run a single "TSO/RACF" command. The list of available commands is not fully documented (There is some detail in the documentation under the CMD option on a NEWLIST). However "EXEC" is not one of the allowed comman...

zSecure Alert - Align Mail header for Alert 1617 with message C2P1617I

This is to request an update in the way zSecure Alert generates the mail for the master key rotation.See attached screen print for reference. Where the message contains both key types RSA and ECC as expected.The mail body holds the same informatio...

Provide job to list the status of all Alerts in a specified C2PCUST dataset

We have potentially 25 LPARs across 5 sysplexes to manage, each with their own set of Alerts (each LPAR has its own C2PCUST library). zSecure Alert provides online (i.e. via ISPF) access to see the status of these alerts. However, signing on to 25...

zSecure - add owner to default alert 1401

The current zSecure Alert 1401 reporting unix access violations provides great information on what (access) happened where (path). However, it would be great if the owner user:group can be added to the default alert.

IP filter rule enhancement to include IKED (IPsec Policy)

Alert 1615 only covers changes to the IP rules defined in the TCPIP Profile statement IPSEC->IPSECR<-ENDIPSEC. As we are supposed to use Policy Agent to configure IPsec rules, this alert is then kind of 'useless' as this default IPSECR state...

Send alerts that were produced from events while zAlert was not active

It would be very helpful if for any reason zAlert is down for a period of time, any alert that would have been generated otherwise, to be able to be sent to a defined destination. This way, no alert recording will be lost. The batch job that is us...

zSecure - Alert 1115 Too many violations - filter enhancement

Currently Alert 1115 does only allow customization for a) the amount of violations and a.1) specific users being revoked exceeding the limit via option 'Customize alert selection list'. I would suggest there second option to allow excludes for a w...
