IBM's RACF for z/VM provides a mechanism for the control of resources associated with the z/VM environment. These external controls expand z/VM's security management and auditing capabilities in scope and granularity. RACF for z/VM maintains its control of resources through the use of profiles – a definition of a resource to the system. Each profile is associated with a Class – a category grouping for how a type of resource is handled.
The FACILITY Class is a category for miscellaneous resource profiles. Such profiles will normally be associated with program products or components – for example, IBM Operations Manager for z/VM and IBM Tape Manager for z/VM both make use of the FACILITY Class. Similarly, the RACROUTE program is authorized through the FACILITY Class.
This paper will discuss how to enable the FACILITY Class for use by such a program.
