Re: Security on multiple LPARs.

There are tools to keep profiles and other files between systems/lpars in sync. Contact me offlist if interested in a purchased solution.

Subject: Security on multiple LPARs.

This is sort of an outgrowth of my question about sharing DASD. If I
have multiple LPARs (or machines), does this mean that I have separate
security environments? In particular, if I have people who need to be
able to access every LPAR, then do they have logically separate userids
and passwords? In our current environment, we share the security
dataase. So when a person updates their password on one system, that
updates the shared database and they use the same userid / password on
all LPARs. Does the i have a similar facility (I guess maybe that would
be something like Active Directory in the Windows world)? Or do they
need to remember or change their password on every LPAR?

Thanks.
