Increase precision of counters for RACF commands in the REPORT VERBOSE/TERSE command when using RACF-Offline

zSecure - Matching SMF Field-Names to zSecure Names

It is, to put it politely, a nightmare to locate the zSecure field name, when one has the SMF field name (from the SMF or IP manuals). SCKRCARL(CKADFTCP) helps in locating the zSecure field names, but that's all. To make life a lot easier, why not...

Add option or make it default to use PHYSICAL_ATTR instead of ATTR RE:U:F

See IBM case tickets TS016343010 and TS016139824. If you read thru the cases, you'll see that z/Secure is not displaying the correct data when querying the USS file permission bits. We searched on GLOBAL WRITE files and directories and got very fe...

Implement Command Logging for RACDCERT Commands

It's my understanding that RACDCERT commands are not eligible for Command Logger, because the command envelope IRREV01 is not called for RACDCERT Commands. Since Command Verifier does not process RACDCERT commands, then Command Logger does not rec...

Zsecure events / Alert is needed to detect security certificate changes

zSecure alert option must be added to the events panel to keep an eye on SSL certificates when changes occur, changes such as Trust/untrust value changes which can cause security issues.

zSecure Command Audit Trail data should be human readable in UI

Command Audit Trail in USRDATA fields is not integrated into zSecure Admin User display screen. The fields are shown in a way that is not human readable or interpreted for display at all, which is even less useful than not displaying them.
