Security

Advanced security is available for SQL, NoSQL, Events, and Services solutions. System programmers typically configure advanced security during Data Virtualization Manager server installation.

IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS provides the following security features:

  • Security Optimization Management (SOM) is a unique feature within the mainframe integration suite that manages and optimizes mainframe security authentication for any process that requiries authentication, such as a web service or SQL call.

  • Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the Data Virtualization Manager server is transparently supported by the Application Transparent Transport Layer Security (AT-TLS), an IBM TCP/IP facility.

  • Enterprise auditing supports the new and unique security requirements of Internet applications, while operating in the traditional enterprise computing environment. With enterprise auditing, web applications that access IBM z/OS operating system data and transactions can be used by people who do not have mainframe user IDs.

  • Data Virtualization Manager server provides protection for its resources using RACF classes, CA Top Secret classes, and CA ACF2 generalized resource rules. You can run multiple instances of Data Virtualization Manager servers and either share the authorization rules or keep them separate.
