Protect your mainframe resources with tools that manage and control access to valuable z/OS data
Enable protection of your mainframe resources
Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) is a security program that serves as a component of the Security Server for z/OS®. RACF governs user actions within the z/OS operating system, enabling users to protect their resources. It safeguards information and other resources by regulating access to them.
RACF authenticates users with a password, password phrase, digital certificate, Kerberos ticket or a PassTicket.
RACF retains information about your users, resources and access authorities in its database.
RACF has logging and reporting functions that identify users who attempt to access the resource, either successfully or unsuccessfully.
Through the RRSF, you have the capability to run most RACF commands on a node and a user ID different from the one you are logged on to.
