RACF Secured Sign-on for ONC RPC clients

RACF® Secured Sign-on support allows RPC clients to gain security access to CICS® facilities by sending a PassTicket. This avoids the security hazard of a password being transmitted across the network in clear text.

For further information, see z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide. This includes details of the algorithm that the RPC client must use to generate the PassTicket. This algorithm includes the DES algorithm.
