Starting MDSEC

Type the command MDSEC from a command line. If using a suffix for a separate instance of MDSEC, then enter that value in the ENV parameter. For example, MDSEC ENV(XXXX).

MDSEC may also be accessed from the MDCMS Setup Menu option #8.

A user will only be able to view the current settings in MDSEC unless that user has administrative rights.

Administrative rights are granted when: - the IBM i user profile has either *SECOFR authority or *SECADM authority and is not explicitly denied MDSEC edit authority for the MDSEC user definition. - The MDSEC user definition for the user has MDSEC Edit Auth parameter set to Y.
