Creating the SSHSP User

Creating the `SSHSP` User

If ssh-socks-proxy is going to be run as a started task, you need to create a user for running it.

To create a user, for example SSHSP, to run the Tectia SOCKS Proxy task, do the following steps:

Create a user, for example using RACF:

ADDUSER SSHSP NAME('SSH Tectia SOCKS Proxy') OWNER(IBMUSER) + 
NOPASSWORD NOOIDCARD + 
OMVS(HOME('/u/SSHSP') PROGRAM( /bin/false ) UID(50042))

Assign the user SSHSP 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 SSHSP.* STDATA(USER(SSHSP)GROUP(SYS1))
SETROPTS RACLIST(STARTED) REFRESH
```

Enter the following commands:

# mkdir /u/SSHSP             
# mkdir /u/SSHSP/.ssh2        
# chown -R SSHSP /u/SSHSP    
# chmod 700 /u/SSHSP/.ssh2

	Create the USS home directory `/u/SSHSP` for the `SSHSP` user.
	Under the home directory, create the `.ssh2` subdirectory for storing the remote server host keys (and optionally user keys and the user-specific `ssh-socks-proxy-config.xml` configuration file).
	Make `SSHSP` the owner of these directories.
	Give only `SSHSP` full (read, write and execute) permissions to the `.ssh2` subdirectory.
