z/Secure to only used required input files

When using z/Secure to look at admin functions, such as RA.U, if there are Access Monitor datasets allocated in the setup files, it'll allocate those even though they are not necessary. The simple answer is to not have those selected, however if t...

Enhancements to Access Monitor Option 3 and Option 8

When using Option 3 or Option 8 to perform inactive permission reporting we are suggesting the following enhancements to Access Monitor. Access Monitor AM.8.1, AM.8.2, and AM.8.3 all produce commands to cleanup profiles, permissions, or connection...

Need to establish a Permit Creation Date

We are attempting to cleanup the RACF DB of permissions that are inactive. Leaving permissions in place that are not in use can be a security risk. Access Monitor via option AM.8.2 appears to cleanup inactive / unused permissions however there is ...

Report SMF Signature with Carla SMF2(1,2)

Since we are using SMF signing in our systems I tried to report the SMF Record 2(1:2) but haven't found any indication for this in zSecure IN.D 'Data dictionary' as a built in field.

Reporting on the CSDATA Segment

We use the CSDATA segment heavily on User IDs, so that data about the user is stored on the User ID. We don't have to look up information in some other zOS dataset or some off host repository. But we need to be able to effectively report on that d...

Add support for adding, activating or deactivating MFA factors and Tags

Currently there is no way in zSecure to add, activate, or deactivate factors for MFA. Nor is there a way to add tags. It all has to be done via RACF commands. It would be much more convenient if it could be done within zSecure

zSecure - Display new Quanum Safe Algorithms as well in help panels

We have setup the SMF signing with the alternate algorithm which is visible in the zSecure RE.K.T panel.However, the 'help' panel for the 'Algorithm' Column does only state:"This 8 character field shows the key use algorithm, such as DES, DES3,AES...

Add a table in the documerntation showing relation between the resources protecting the panels (CKR.OPTION.xx.yy) and the resources protecting actions in the panels (CKR.ACTION.xx.yy)

If you want to secure zSecure by panels AND commands, it would be helpful to have a table showing the diffrent relations between panels and actions. Auths are different between RACF admin and auditor and people thet need only to have read access. ...

Record Program activity in Access Monitor

When trying to lockdown who can execute a program via the program class, or when you are trying to establish a WHEN PROGRAM on a dataset permission it would be helpful if that information was stored in Access Monitor.
