Creating Publish/Subscribe user IDs

This is part of the larger task of setting up security on z/OS.

A User Name Server can only see user IDs that have been enabled to use UNIX System Services facilities. To ensure that your user or group information can be seen by your User Name Server, you must comply with the following instructions:
  • Define user IDs with OMVS(UID(nnnnn)...) and their default group with OMVS(GID(nnnnn)).
  • Define groups with OMVS(GID(nnnnn)).
