Sample setup

Assume a company has z/OS® Explorer active on system CDFMVS08. IBM® Security Directory Server, also active on CDFMVS08, is used as LDAP server. The LDAP server is configured as described in Adding push-to-client back-end to LDAP.

The following users use z/OS Explorer:
  • Developers who work on banking applications, user ID BNK010 -> BNK014
  • Developers who work on insurance applications, user ID INS010 -> INS014
  • A z/OS Explorer client administrator, user ID PTCADM1

Each group of developers requires specific client configuration files, and all developers are subject to the same client version control. Unlike client administrators, developers are not allowed to reject any of the changes push-to-client presents.

The client administrator and LDAP administrator agreed on using group names BANKING and INSURANCE for the configuration updates.
