Format of the APPLDATA value

The format of the APPLDATA value in the IRR.PROGRAM.SIGNATURE.VERIFICATION profile is as follows:

owning-userid/key-ring-name

The variables of the APPLDATA value are defined as follows:

owning-userid: Specifies the user ID that owns the signature-verification key ring.
/key-ring-name: Specifies the fully qualified name of the signature-verification key ring. This value must be preceded by the forward slash (/).

Example:

RDEFINE FACILITY IRR.PROGRAM.SIGNATURE.VERIFICATION
  APPLDATA('RACFADM/CODE.SIGNATURE.VERIFICATION.KEYRING')

Rule: No spaces or extraneous characters are allowed in the APPLDATA value.

RACF® does not check the format of the APPLDATA value when you define a IRR.PROGRAM.SIGNATURE.VERIFICATION profile. RACF typically checks the format when it verifies the signature of a signed program.
