Overview:
Manage and administer security authorizations for CICS mainframes
The IBM® zSecure CICS® Toolkit enhances CICS® mainframe transaction processing by enabling CICS applications to use RACF® to set access policies in the database. This API facilitates access authorization management checks, improving application security and performance.
Increased programmer productivity
Create a customized authorization application without knowing RACF.
Select Z security functions
Execute select RACF security functions with the advanced CICS API on your mainframe.
Customizable screens
Control the information displayed to decentralized administrators.
Full user control
The interface and advanced API display only the functions and options delegated to users.
Features:
Tools designed for you
Boost application efficiency
The API enables access checks on over 2,000 resources, allowing you to switch an application's security to IBM RACF, boosting performance through the zSecure application interface. The zSecure CICS Toolkit supports third-party resource checks across various classes.
Ease maintenance for developers
The zSecure CICS Toolkit eases maintenance and administration tasks for CICS developers. By using RACF, the CICS Toolkit lets applications retrieve access policies directly from the database, separating duties to prevent unauthorized management of application authorities and privileges by support staff.
Protect user access: Customize CICS screens for security needs
Easily customize zSecure CICS Toolkit screens and control displayed information for decentralized administrators that use the API. Customize supported RACF commands and enable authorized applications to verify user passwords. Select specific options and fields displayed to local administrators on the screens.
The power of API: Protect your web applications with RACF
The advanced API in zSecure CICS Toolkit can run specific RACF security functions when your web server application communicates with CICS on the mainframe. These functions involve verifying user credentials with the RACF database and using RACF security functions to manage your web server and applications.
Use intuitive menus for quick commands
Local administrators can efficiently manage tasks through a user-friendly menu within the CICS application by using the zSecure CICS Toolkit. The menu eliminates the need for application programmers to understand the RACF database, enabling them to create tailored security applications promptly.
Enable scalability for big data systems with V2.2.1
V2.2.1 allows storage above the 2 GB boundary to process more data, impacting paging and storage needs. This frees up memory below the bar for other programs. Models z196+ automatically activate 64-bit addressing, with the option to revert to 31-bit. Choose programs in SE.0 (SETUP RUN).
