Sterling Connect:Direct for Z/OS

    Allow C:D To handle Protected IDs from TSS with a RACROUTE Check with passchk(no)

    This would benefit any TSS user that was previously using NOPW on user IDs and converting them to PROTECTED.  Once they are PROTECTED, if you specified USER,PASS (which a lot of our JCL and our clients JCL does) the jobs start to fail, as thi...

    Enable CSPA600W certificate-expiry alerting to evaluate the certificate actively in use from the Secure Plus in-storage cache, not only the ACF2/RACF key ring.

    Have the ability to code in the "user authorization record" to limit concurrent transfers/sessions a mapping can have at ONE time.

    Lockdown SECURITY.EXIT parameter - Context - Only Support The "Macro Call" to DGASECUR - Do not allow changes to DGASECUR source code. Create new parameter for User Authorization member to allow customers to specify different functional authority for different SECURITY.EXIT parameter names.

    It is useful because it can prevent bad security modifications to z/OS Connect Direct Software.

    Add Support for TSS Protected IDs in BATCH

    CDZ supports RACF and ACF2 when it comes to PROTECTED IDs, but does not support TSS. Please extend this support to TSS, as TSS implemented PROTECTED in a similar manner to RACF.

    CDz SMF 132 record should track "usage" of userID authentication with the CDz userID proxy table the same way it tracks SNODEID usage of userID authentication.

    Why is it useful? It is useful because it allows there to be an audit trail that clearly states the authentication of the userID logon to z/OS Connect Direct was done using the CDz User Proxy table. Who would benefit from it? CDz administrators an...
