Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
• Security wizard: Generates an administrator and user report. The administrator
report shows recommended settings and how those settings affect the behavior of the
system. The user report contains the information the users need to know about the
system, such as password composition rules.
• Backup: Allows users to schedule daily, weekly, and monthly backups of remote
AS/400 systems. It offers easy-to-use panels so users can select what should be
backed up, when to schedule it, and where to save it.
• Database administration: Users can create and modify DB2/400 table definitions
with the use of a wizard. Administrators can easily set up ODBC configurations for
other PCs in the network, create and change database object definitions, control
access to database objects, back up database objects, organize file data to enhance
performance, copy object definitions and data, display data in tables and views,
update table contents, manage remote journals, manage aliases, and copy or move
tables between systems.
• Resource security and security policy: Enables resource information such as user's
authority, public authority, owner, primary group, authorization list, default public
authority for newly created objects (libraries only), sensitivity level (QDLS objects
only), and security policy information to be changed easily. Access to specific
Operations Navigator functions can also be controlled.
There is also a Security Wizard that asks questions about your AS/400 system and then
recommends how to configure base system security. You can apply some or all of the
recommendations or save them. If you save them, the next time you run the wizard, you
can apply the changes from the first screen. If you apply changes, the next time you start
the wizard, a “reset changes” option appears on the first page to change the security
configuration back to what it was before the changes were applied.
The security wizard also generates an administrator and a user report. The administrator
report shows the recommended settings and how those settings affect the behavior of the
system. The user report contains the information that users need to know about the
system, including password composition rules and job timeout intervals.
• Hardware and software inventory: Can be displayed through a Windows,
shell-based user interface.
• TCP/IP security: Allows control of Network Address Translation (NAT) and IP Packet
filtering to accept or reject IP packets based on criteria
• Network File System (NFS) management: Controls an AS/400 NFS server and the
exports and netgroups set up for that server.
• NetServer: View server statistics with optional automatic refreshing, shared objects
being used by a session, and sessions using a shared object.
