Re: iASP security

The session or Job may be associated with an "Initial ASP Group", but what

does that mean? I doubt that it has anything to do with user-object
authority.

That's what I am trying to figure out. iASP is being declared, by IBM, as
a good SaaS-model-way to separate out multi-tenant situations (i.e. same
named libs but different iASP). What I am trying to determine is if this
SaaS they are talking about was in a situation where the user didn't have
access to a command line and instead it was only through a browser. I shot
an email off to IBM but also wanted to get community input.

Hello,

I have some iASP security questions I hope someone can answer. Let me

lay

out a scenario:

*Scenario*
- I have a single IBM i instance, let's call this IBMi1
- I have two IASPs configured, IASP1 and IASP2
- I have two users configured, USR1 and USR2 (QSECURITY=30,

USRCLS(*PGMR))

- USR1 has a *JOBD with INLASPGRP(IASP1)
- USR2 has a *JOBD with INLASPGRP(IASP2)
- I have two libs, LIB1 is in IASP1 and LIB2 is in IASP2
- I have two RPG *PGM objects, RPG1 is in LIB1 and RPG2 is in LIB2

When USR1 logs into a IBMi1 5250 session (and inherently placed in

IASP1),

can they see or attempt to invoke LIB2/RPG2 in IASP2 if the authority is
*PUBLIC(*USE)?

Can USR1 see or invoke IFS files in IASP2 if files are set to chmod

go+rx?

I would test this myself except I am having issues setting up the

scenario

on IBM's PDP
<

https://www-304.ibm.com/partnerworld/wps/servlet/ContentHandler/stg_com_sys_power-development-platform

service
(I have an email into support). I would try iASP on the variety of other
servers I have access to, but I don't want to accidentally hose anything
:-P

Thanks,
Aaron Bartell
