A security journal is provided that logs all security violations. The highest level of security
(Level 50) enables the AS/400 system to operate at the C2 level of trust as defined by the
U.S. government.
For departments where several members have the same duties or requirements, group
profiles can be used. There are numerous system values that can be implemented
controlling passwords and their expiration dates, as well as what is and not allowable for a
password. Shipped with OS/400 is the publication
Tips and Tools for Securing Your
AS/400 , SC41-5300, which provides report generation tools to assist administrators in
assessing their implementation of security. Within communications, further security is
possible by implementing LU6.2 Session Level Encryption (SLE) for AS/400 applications,
which use LU6.2 communications.
