Field Descriptions

The following describes the parameters and allowable values for each field on the Work with System Values screen.

Name

Indicates you are viewing Product Defaults.

Log Journal

This is the library/name of the journal that Powertech Network Security will log information. You can control the level of detail with the audit flag when you specify location and user authorities. Most installations will specify QSYS/QUADJRN.

The Log Journal Library specifies the library where the log journal is located.

Notes:

  1. You also can specify *NONE in the Log Journal Name field. However, if a journal name of *NONE is found in the Network Security system values, network transactions are not journaled.
  2. Some versions of Powertech Compliance Monitor expect Network Security audit entries to be written to QSYS/QAUDJRN. Contact Powertech technical support if you need further information concerning log journal entries.
Log Message Queue

This is the library/name of the message queue, where Powertech Network Security sends messages. Messages are sent to this queue when specified on location and user authority records. Most installations specify QSYS/QSYSOPR.

The log message queue library is the library where the log message queue is located.

Authority

The authority assigned if no other authority is found for a server or function. Possible values are:

*OS400 Network Security allows the transaction without taking any action
*REJECT Network Security rejects requests for the transaction
*SWITCH Network Security switches the job to run as the user profile specified in the Switch field.
Audit

Controls the type of requests Network Security will log. Network Security uses this value if no other value is entered for a server or function. Possible values are:

Yes Log All requests
No Only log authority failures
Message

Determines if Network Security sends a message to the log message queue. Network Security uses this value if no other value is entered for a server or function. Possible values are:

Yes A message is sent to the specified queue
No No message is sent
Capture

Capture transactions for Memorized Transaction Request (MTR). Network Security uses this value if no other value is entered for a server or function. Possible values are:

Yes Capture transactions
No Do not capture transactions
Owner

The product owner is the name of the user profile that owns all data objects and exit programs in the Powertech Network Security product.

Library

The product library is the library that contains all of the Powertech Network Security objects.

Administrator

The product administrator is the name of the user profile that owns administrative program objects in the Powertech Network Security product. We recommend granting administrators *USE authority to the PTADMIN authorization list using the following command, where myuser is the administrator profile to add.

ADDAUTLE AUTL(PTADMIN) USER(myuser) AUT(*USE)

NOTE: To access reporting functions, administrators must be authorized to the PTNSRPT authorization list.

For more information, see Granting Reporting Authority.

Once authorized to the PTADMIN and PTNSRPT authorization lists, the administrator has all the authorities needed to administer Powertech Network Security. Product administrators have *CHANGE authority to Network Security data and *USE authority to Network Security programs.

NOTE: Users set to the *SECOFR User Class do not need to be members of the PTADMIN or PTNSRPT authorizations lists to use Network Security or Network Security Reports.
Last Change User/Date/Time

The user profile that changed the Network Security system values and the date and time the changes were made.
