Re: sbmjob user(xxxxx)

jim thank you...

we don't want to necessarily just adopt the authority of another user, we
literally need it to run under the "other" user profile...

the reason for this is we have a pgmA that is a clp that runs an sftp
process.

When pgmA is invoked and ran, we don't know if this particular sftp will be
password or ssh key auth.

But we do know if it will be sshkey or password when we code the sbmjob in
our application.
And if it is ssh key then we want to sbmjob user(sftpuser). (sftpuser is
the sole userprofile for holding all the ssh keys.)

I’m not certain what the use case is here, but I’ll bet you don’t really
want to give everyone that authority, or at least based on your note a
limited number.

The best way to accomplish this in my view is with an adopted authority
CLP wrapper.
Take in parms that you need for the job, and craft a SMBJOB command as
needed. Create your own command if it makes sense to do so.

That way you can accomplish your goal and maintain some level of control.
I’ve even seen those programs encode a journal entry to a user journal in
order to memorialize the job for later audit.

so we have a need to submit a job under another specific user profile.

what is the best/cleanest method for implementing this?

obviously we can just specify the new user on the sbmjob user() parm, but
what about each individual user profile that may do the sbmjob, what is

the

best/cleanest way to maintain those user authorized to the sbmjob user()
user profile?
