Enable the Surrogate check for INTRDR with XUSER=NO

Hi Team,

 

Currently we use XUSER=NO, and we are looking forward to activate surrogate check only to INTRDR.

Keeping XUSER=NO and activating the below toggles doesn't help the surrogate check for the jobs running through INTRDR.
com.ibm.cics.spool.surrogate.check=true
com.ibm.cics.spool.defaultjobuser=TASK

Our request is to enable the security check to INTRDR with XUSER=NO.

    CICS Development: We have no plans to provide this capability as it does not fit within a zero trust strategy.

    XUSER=YES should be set and appropriate profiles for uuu.SUBMIT defined. Initially, generic profiles can be defined with UACC(READ) for the other types of surrogate check that CICS can perform (*.DFHSTART, *.DFHINSTL, and *.DFHQUERY). As part of an evolving zero trust strategy the other surrogate checks should be fully implemented over time and the UACC(READ) generic profiles removed.
