System Authorization Facility profile names generated by the Customization Dialog

System Authorization Facility profile names

The WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Customization Dialog generates jobs that help you create the necessary System Authorization Facility (SAF) profiles—such as STARTED, CBIND, or SERVER—that enable your server to run. This article helps you understand how to work with these profiles and determine if you need to also create your own.

At runtime, normal SAF specific and generic profile matching uses a combination of the cell short name, cluster short name (or cluster transition name for a non-clustered server), and server short name to select the appropriate matching profile.

WebSphere Application Server for z/OS customization uses two schemes, specific and generic, in the creation of SAF profiles:

The generic profiles that customization creates are not required and exist only for your convenience in case you use the default server short names and cluster short names (or cluster transition names for non-clustered servers) generated by WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. You can choose to delete the generic profiles if, for example, your organization has particular naming conventions and you will not use the default names generated by WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. In that case, ensure that you have your own strategy for creating the required SAF profiles, either generic or specific, with your own naming convention—WebSphere Application Server for z/OS does not create them for you.
