RACF remote sharing facility (RRSF)

Hi, We are looking how to propagate passwords between z/OS and z/VM. We want to remove nc-syncom. Z/OS has RRSF available, not z/VM. Any reason ? Will it be possible in a near future ? Thanks Alain Benveniste

There is a possiblity based on RACF's support for LDAP, but it involves some programming. I was part of a team writing a redbook on the subject. The redbook is still in the pipelines. 2011/1/24 Alain Benveniste a.benveni...@free.fr Hi, We are looking how to propagate passwords between z/OS

We have a fairly lo-tech method for propogating passwords. When a user gets a new password (in the z/OS realm), a small encrypted (it would not stand up to the CIA!) spool file is sent to a virtual machine on VM, which updates the VM:Secure password for the user. I think the programming for the

The most common cause for a FORCED LOGOFF BY SYSTEM is that the virtual machine went into a VM READ. If a disconnected virtual machine goes into a VM READ, CP sets a timer. By default, this timer is 15 minutes. I'm not sure if this is configurable or not, I haven't checked. You can use

If you are referring to something that can back up z/OS datasets, then it is unlikely that you will find anything that runs on z/VM. If you are referring to something that can back up z/VM objects (minidisks, shared file system and byte file system objects), then I might suggest taking a look
