Another Generalized Resource question

2008-05-21 Thread David Day
I would like to be able to add profiles to the Facility class within racf such 
that the profile will be made up of three qualifiers.  The 1st two qualifiers 
will always be the same, and the 3rd will change.  I have created a profile 
that contained 3 qualifiers, with the last as DAD*.  DAD is my userid on the 
mvs system I am working on.  After defining the profile, and then executing the 
permit, and the setropts refresh, I still get non-zero return from the racroute 
request=fastauth for the entity when the 3rd qualifier in the entity is DADIVP. 
 Shouldn't DADIVP match against DAD* ?

Tell us the entire profile name and the name you're checking it against. 
Do you have Enhanced Generics turned on? Why are you requesting 
FASTAUTH? More detail is necessary. Also, have you checked this with the 
RACF-List folks?

One comment: Enhanced Generics are irrelevant here.  That option applies
only to DATASET profiles, and has no effect on the characters you can use in
general resource profiles.  For general resource you can always use either *
or **, depending on what you want to match.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I understood that a single trailing * meant 
exactly one qualifier, whereas a trailing ** meant any number of 
qualifiers.
