Running ssh-certd as a Started Task

To run ssh-certd as a started task, use a JCL procedure such as SSHCERTD from SAMPLIB (shown below). The JCL must be installed in the procedure library.

SSHCERTD:

//RUNCRTD PROC F=START //SSHCRTD EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,REGION=0M,TIME=NOLIMIT, // PARM='PGM /bin/sh /etc/ssh2/init.d/ssh-certd // &F foreground' //STDOUT DD PATH='/tmp/SSHD2-certd.out', // PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC), // PATHMODE=(SIRUSR,SIWUSR) //STDERR DD PATH='/tmp/SSHD2-certd.err', // PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC), // PATHMODE=(SIRUSR,SIWUSR) //STDIN DD DUMMY // PEND

Start the Certificate Validator with the following operator command:

== > s sshcertd 

The sshcertd job starts.

In the sample SSHCERTD script above, ssh-certd is started with the foreground option that disables the daemon mode. With the foreground option, the daemon does not spawn the process to background and the task name stays as sshcertd.

You can assign the user SSHD2 to the started task by defining the procedure in the STARTED class and entering the user ID in the STDATA segment, for example:

RDEFINE STARTED SSHCERTD.* STDATA(USER(SSHD2)GROUP(SYS1))
SETROPTS RACLIST REFRESH
