The mainframe security package for the Virginia Community Colleges is RACF,
Resource Access Control Facility. Security officers for each college will
need to add every college user that needs mainframe access to the RACF
databases. (You will no longer need to run the ACFADD, ACFCHG, and ACFDEL jobs. You will need to continue adding your users which you
will do with the RADD command instead of the ACFADD job.) The security
officers will also need to delete all users that leave the college or no longer
need mainframe access.
Authorized users will be able to list userids and reset user passwords
to their userids; security officers will be able to list userids and groups,
reset passwords, delete userids, and add userids to the RACF databases.
At this time all changes will be made from the TSO READY prompt.
