Activating IMS security for DB/DC and DCCTL environments

This topic provides guidance on activating your IMS security design and on using RACF® and program exit routines.

Preparing security exit routines
Each of the security exit routines need to be prepared as part of authorization.
Preparing a RACF security plan
A security plan for RACF includes defining which resources need to be protected, specifying security options in system definition macros, and defining the resources that you want to protect to RACF.
Enabling and disabling APSB SAF security
You can enable APSB SAF security using one of the following methods.
Restricting access to the RS catalog repository and IMSRSC repository
The Repository Server (RS) uses z/OS® system authorization facility (SAF) callable services to restrict access to the RS catalog repository and IMSRSC repository. You can use an SAF-enabled external security manager, such as RACF, to administer RS security.
