Issue/Introduction

In general, IBM applications have external security requirements stated as RACF commands. These must be translated to CA ACF2 Security for z/OS.

Release: R16.0
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

There is a translation guide in ACF2 documentation which offers pointers on what you need to do with RACF set-up to translate the RACF commands to the equivalent ACF2 commands. The following RACF commands are covered.

      ADDGROUP       
      ADDSD          
      ADDUSER        
      ALTDSD         
      ALTGROUP       
      ALTUSER        
      BLKUPD         
      CONNECT        
      DELDSD         
      DELGROUP       
      DELUSER        
      LISTDSD        
      LISTGRP        
      LISTUSER       
      LISTUSER       
      PASSWORD       
      PERMIT         
      RACDCERT               
      REMOVE                           
      SEARCH         
                              

If you need assistance in the translation of RACF commands or as an added check, you can open a support case so that CA ACF2 Technical Support can assist you in the translation.
