<h1 class="topictitle1">Plan your security strategy</h1>
<div><p>This topic describes various aspects of planning a security strategy.</p>
<p>Once you have defined your company's security values within your security
policy, you can begin developing your security strategy. A security strategy
provides a systematic approach to all the planning tasks that are necessary
for implementing your company's security policy. To best complete this goal,
you need to start at the most basic security need and then work to more specific
security issues. </p>
<p>For example, the suggested approach that this information takes is to begin
with planning physical security of your hardware and information assets and
then to plan specific security for your system, users, resources, and network.
As you develop your security strategy, begin at the most general security
concerns and then move toward other more specific security goals. Each planning
step is arranged to be completed in order. </p>
<p><strong>Use system values to customize your system </strong></p>
<p>The system uses system values and network attributes to control many things
other than security. The system and application programmers use most of these
system values and attributes. The security officer should set a few system
values and network attributes to customize your system.</p>
<p><span class="uicontrol">Assign a name to your system</span></p>
<p>You use the SYSNAME network attribute to assign a name to your system.
The system name appears in the upper-right corner of your sign on display
and on system reports. It is also used when your system communicates with
another system or with personal computers using iSeries™ Access for Windows<sup>®</sup>. </p>
<p>When your system communicates with other systems or personal computers,
the system name identifies and distinguishes your system from others on the
network. Computers exchange system names whenever they communicate. Once you
assign a system name, you should not change it, because changing it affects
other systems in your network.</p>
<p>Choose a meaningful and unique name for your system. Even if you are not
communicating with other computers today, you may in the future. If your system
is part of a network, the network manager will probably tell you what system
name to use.</p>
<p><span class="uicontrol">Choose the date display format for your system</span></p>
<p>You can set the sequence in which year, month, and day appear when your
system prints or displays the date. You can also specify what character the
system should use between the year (Y), month (M), and day (D). The system
value QDATFMT determines the date format. The following chart shows how the
system prints the date, 16 June 2000, for each possible choice.</p>

<p><strong>Decide how to name your system devices</strong></p>
<p>Your system automatically configures any new display stations and printers
you attach to it. The system gives a name to each new device. The QDEVNAMING
system value determines how the names are assigned. The chart below shows
how the system names the third display station and the second printer attached
to your system:</p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> In the above example, the display station and printer are attached to
the first cable.</div>
<p><strong>Recommendations</strong></p>
<p>Use naming conventions not device addresses, unless you are running software
which requires S/36 naming. Names for display stations and printers are less
cumbersome than names which use the address of the device. Display station
and printer names appear on several Operational Assistant displays. Printer
names are also used to manage printer output. </p>
<p>After the system has configured a new device, use the Change Display Device
(CHGDEVDSP) command or the Change Printer Device (CHGDEVPRT) command to enter
a meaningful description of the device. Include in the description both the
physical address of the device and its location, such as John Smiths office,
line 1 address 6.</p>
<p><span class="uicontrol">Choose your system printer</span></p>
<p>Use the QPRTDEV system value to assign your system printer. This system
value, the user profile, and the job description determine which printer a
job uses. The job uses the system printer unless the user profile or the job
description specifies a different one. </p>
<p><strong>Recommendations</strong></p>
<div class="p">Normally, your system printer should be the fastest printer on your system.
Use the system printer for long reports and system output. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> You will
not know the names of your printers until you install and configure your system.
Make a note about the location of your system printer now. Fill in the name
of the printer later.</div>
</div>
<p><span class="uicontrol">Allow the display of completed printer output</span></p>
<p>The system provides users the ability to find their printer output. The
Work with Printer Output display shows all the output that is currently printing
or waiting to print. You can also allow users to look at a list of completed
printer output. </p>
<p>This display shows when the output printed and on what printer it printed.
This can be useful in locating lost reports. The job accounting function and
the QACGLVL system value allows you to display completed printer output. The
*PRINT option for the QACGLVL system value allows information about completed
printer output to be saved.</p>
<p>Storing information about completed printer output takes space on your
system. Unless you think your users will print many reports, you probably
do not need to provide this function. Enter NO on the System Values Selection
form. This value sets the job accounting level to *NONE.</p>
<div class="p"><span class="uicontrol">Before planning user groups</span><ul><li>Make sure you have written a security policy statement for your own company
similar to the JKL Toy Company example that Sharon Jones and John Smith prepared.</li>
<li>Make sure you have entered your choices for the system values on the System
Values Selection form.</li>
<li>Make notes about what you would like to include in your security memo.</li>
</ul>
After you have entered all your system options on the System Values
Selection form and written a security policy, you can plan user groups.</div>
