TSO/E unaided supports up to 7 character IDs. (Let's not call them user IDs for now. They could be individual humans or not.) However, you can build and deploy whatever challenge(s) you want in front and/or behind that. You can use the LDAP client provided with base z/OS as the fundamental building block for that/those challenge(s). LDAP is LDAP -- assuming your third party LDAP server is standards compliant. The TSO/E ID could even be stored and retrieved from that LDAP server and automatically provided to TSO/E if you wish. I'm not necessarily recommending (nor not not recommending) you do that. (Conveniently IBM also provides a wonderful LDAP server in base z/OS.) But I think you can do what you want with the ingredients in base z/OS and a little effort above that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples Resident Enterprise Architect (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
