Hi!

Each program has its own userid (due to security and local storage management reasons) with ftp access. Each program has its own HFS mounted under /usr/lpp/, eg. /usr/lpp/fejlsws/ It works well, but due to unix file access rights (eg. others: r-x) and RACF UACC read, users can read much more files than they should. So I want to restrict each user to access contents under it's home directory only. eg. /usr/lpp/fejlsws/. Not more, no access to / or other directories just under /usr/lpp/fejlsws/.
As R.S. pointed out, if you can make the user IDs RESTRICTED in RACF then UACC(READ), GLOBAL, and (if you set some additional options) permissions for "other" will not apply to those users. They can only access data you have specifically given them access to.


It sounds good.
I have tried it. Restriction works. :)

ICH408I USER(SSCSWS ) GROUP(SSCSUPP ) NAME(SSC SAPIENS WORKST ) 801 FTPDNS CL(PROGRAM ) INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY FROM * (G) ACCESS INTENT(READ ) ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE ) CSV025I PROGRAM CONTROLLED MODULE FTPDNS NOT ACCESSED, USER UNAUTHORIZ ED
Which profile should I create to eliminate this.

You do not need to create any profiles. You should PERMIT either user SSCWS or group SSCSUPP to PROGRAM * with READ access.

You might want to consider creating a group specifically for your RESTRICTED users (in case you have other such users in the future) and PERMIT that group to PROGRAM * with READ authority. Then in the future you can simply CONNECT your other RESTRICTED users to that group.

By the way, we generally recommend using PROGRAM ** rather than PROGRAM * as it makes use of RLIST simpler.
