Because the IFS does not always follow the traditional i5/OS security model, the security of the IFS is often ignored; therefore, important data may not be secured properly when it is stored in the IFS. Security expert Carol Woodbury describes how IFS security compares to native i5/OS security and how auditing works with IFS objects. She also explains ways to:

  • Determine what authority is required to a directory or object
  • Remediate (change) from the current authority settings to more-appropriate settings as well as how to determine what the more-appropriate setting might be
  • Use i5/OS commands to help you manage IFS security
