Brad,

Using the APPL class would be an effective means of governing entry into
ViewDirect. Starting with the .SOURCE(RACF) member as Ken advised, you
simply need to modify the RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY macro therein to include
the APPL=applid parameter. The inclusion of this parameter prompts the APPL
class profile check. If you run several instances of ViewDirect and want a
different APPLID for each, you'll either need to include additional code to
determine and set the APPLID value for each call, or you'll need to have an
individual copy of the exit for each instance with a hard-coded value.

Alternatively, if you have a VTAM Session Manager, you could use its
facilities to govern what application(s) a user may access.

Subject: Re: A Question on ViewDirect EXIT04

Check your View Direct .SOURCE library for member RACF (or TOPSECRT or
ACF2).
These are supplied INEXIT04s for RACF, ACF2 or Top Secret logon
security.
We use the TOPSECRT one with no modifications.

YMMV.

Hello IBM-MAINers,

We are trying to tackle an issue with ViewDirect (now ASG formally
Mobius) and control which users can logon to a region via the RACF APPL
class.  We know that exit 4 would be a good place to check this since
that is where the RACF userid/password is validated.  So my questions
are:

1. Does anyone know of a ViewDirect users group out on the net anywhere?
2. Would checking against the RACF APPL class be the way to do this?
If not what else would you suggest?
3. Anyone have samples of their INEXIT04 that they would like to share?

Frustrated in Burlington, NC.
