    Allow ALLOC FILEDESC=nn for INPUT files

    CARLa command ALLOC FILEDESC=nn PIPE=YES is documented to support (only) TYPE=OUTPUT. We would like to use zSecure to read and process data from a a data provider in z/OS UNIX, using a pipe, so we would like to be able to use: DEFTYPE TYPE=$PIPEAL...

    ALLOC TYPE=OUTPUT option to conditionally create output data set

    The ALLOC TYPE=OUTPUT DSN=xxxx command fails when the given dsn doesn't exit. It only works when NEW is added. ALLOC TYPE=OUTPUT DSN=xxxx NEW fails (obviously) when the dsn already exists. Provide an alternative disposition, e.g., ENSURE, NEW(IFMI...

    Allow more date formats with the DATE$STR option to print a string when the date is missing

    When you print user profiles, and the user never logged on or never changed their password, zSecure leaves the date field blank. For some audit reports, this is undesirable, and "never used" and "never set" are better values in the list of dates. ...

    combine the REVOKED and REVOKE_INACTIVE fields in one field, for friendly report composition

    End-user reports may want to show when a user is unable to logon, as a flag in a report of all users. Currently, those reports have to include 2 fields, REVOKE and REVOKE_INACTIVE, or ignore the difference between those 2 states and print a define...

    Provide ability to specify where to find SSH configuration for STIG reporting

    I've been pointed to documentation and told that currently the STIG check RACF-SH-000010 will default to /etc/ssh for the configuration file even though we start SSH pointing to a script in a different location that specifies a different path to t...

    zSecure Audit - CIS Benchmark - CIS-OS-1.2.12 Expired Certificate - show label

    While the current control CIS-OS-1.2.12 checks for expired certificates it only lists the 'real' resource with the serial number. However, like IP addresses they do not mean a lot for an end user. Hence, I would suggest that not only the serial nu...

    I am working with a Federal Client in the US assisting in their encryption project. Early on we were looking for a mechanism to track progress of encryption. They wanted to see both the number of files encrypted vs files yet to encrypt, but also, ...

    Modify RA.3.4 Report to show when a User has multiple groups that grant access to a profile.

    When using RA.3.4 to list a User's access via direct permit or connect (Option2), the report does not indicate that the user may have access to the same resource via multiple groups. Would like to see a version of the code to be able to show the r...

    zSecure - Allow function e.g. SUM for User-Defined Variables

    zSecure gives us the ability to define our own file structures using e.g. DEVTYPE TYPE=$txt, but then doesn't allow us to use any of the fields we define in DEFINE statements, such as in SUM(xxx). It's a case of, "giving with one hand and taking a...
