<h1 class="topictitle1">Recommendations for managing service tools user IDs</h1>
<div><p>This information provides the recommendations for managing service
tools user IDs.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Create your own version of the QSECOFR service tools user
ID</h4><p>Do not use the IBM-supplied service tools user ID QSECOFR. Instead,
review what functional privileges are given to QSECOFR and create a duplicate
user ID with a different name that has the same functional privileges. Use
this new user ID to manage your other service tools user IDs. This can help
eliminate the security exposure that originates because QSECOFR is the value
included in every server and is commonly known.</p>
<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> Do
not leave the QSECOFR service tools user ID and password set to the default
value. This is a security exposure because this is the value included in every iSeries™ server
and is commonly known. </div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Service tools security functional privilege</h4><p>The <em>Service
tools security</em> functional privilege is the privilege that allows a service
tools user ID to create and manage other service tools user IDs. Because
this is a powerful privilege, only your QSECOFR-equivalent service tools user
ID should be given this privilege. Give careful consideration to whom you
grant this functional privilege.</p>
