  • 1.  Switchuser feature and DSC

    Posted 05/29/20 09:04 AM
    In 2017 Hendrik Zahn (EMEA CCT Security Systems Support) wrote this for the closure of a case.
    -----
    At this time, the switch user functionality has not been implemented with DSC. It has been recommended that you open an RFE at this time. We do have this issue escalated to our development team, but they would still like for you to start the change process by creating an RFE.
    -----

     With version 9.0.7.1 is it now possible to use the switch user function having the dsc configured?    ​

    Hi Patrizio,

    That functionality was added in ISAM 9.0.3.0.
    See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSPREK_9.0.3/com.ibm.isam.doc/productoverview/concept/whats_new.html

    Distributed session cache supports the Web Reverse Proxy switch user function

    The Web Reverse Proxy (aka WebSEAL) switch user functionality is now supported by the distributed session cache. The switch user function enables administrators to become other users without knowing their account authorization information such as password.

    Regards
