Before you can run any applications that use the OCEP service provider modules, you must first ensure that several tasks have been completed for Open Cryptographic Services Facility (OCSF). The following items must be reviewed and completed:

• The OCSF code must be properly installed and configured on your system.
• Any necessary security authorizations must be granted and program controls must be established.
• The required RACF FACILITY class profiles (CDS.*) must be defined for OCSF.
• z/OS user identities must be authorized to access the CDS.* FACILITY class profiles.
