RE: Rép. : Auditing, renaming, deleting IBM profiles

I was unaware of the ability to use group policies to rename it.
Thanks,
John

That's no problem, if done right.

Services don't use that account (normally), and you can even use group
policies to automatically rename the local administrator on client machines,
etc.etc.

Submitting a DCR about this is absolutely a good idea, IBM should provide a
way to do this.

You already know the answer. Have them rename, delete or disable
"Administrator" on a WinTel server. See where that gets them.

Actually Denis Robitaille's remark of "You should change auditor" was
probably said tongue in cheek, but never a truer word said in jest.
Do these auditors know what repercussions would arise by making such a
suggestion?
I would seriously ask them what experience they have on the AS/400 - or
i-series they have.

I suggest you do the following (that should satisfy your auditor):
- Change the password of those profiles for a random sequence of
number/caracter
- Disable the profiles that can be.

A lot of system stuff run under some of those profiles. Renaming or
delating them is a sure recipe for desaster.

Other than "common knowledge" that IBM user profiles should not be
renamed or deleted, is there any official IBM documentation stating
the fact? We have auditors who want to rename or delete QSECOFR,
QUSER, QSRV, QSRVBAS, QPGMR, QSYSOPR, &c. I found and printed IBM's
command help for DLTUSRPRF that restricts deleting those profiles, but
have not seen anything on a rename.



Thanks,
