Enabling generic return codes or message for RACF verifications
If RACF® is used to verify sign-ons from IMS Connect clients, you can enable a generic return code or message to be returned by IMS Connect instead of the actual RACF or IMS return code if the user ID or password provided is invalid. By enabling a generic return code or message to be returned, you can inhibit access to information about RACF-verified sign-ons until valid user IDs and passwords are provided.
Before you enable a generic return code or message to be returned by IMS Connect instead of the actual RACF or IMS return code, ensure that the IRRSPW00 module, which is provided by RACF, is included in one of the following locations:
- LPA
- A library in LINKLIST
- A library in LINKLIST
To enable a generic return code or message to be returned by IMS Connect instead of the actual RACF or IMS return code, use one of the following methods:
- In the HWS statement of the HWSCFGxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data set, specify RACFGENRC=Y.
- Issue the UPDATE IMSCON TYPE(CONFIG) command with SET(RACFGENRC(ON)) specified.
