    Adding ONLYAT support in IRRSEQ00 and IRRSMO00

    It's not an uncommon scenario that one LPAR is in an RRSF network but needs to have differences between it and other systems, so it would be really useful if the IRRSEQ00 and IRRSMO00 callable services supported the ONLYAT keyword, so we can autom...

    Command required to filter all the userid if it contain S# data.

    We are Monitoring all our ID's which will help us keep track of all the id we own, if there is any changes in the id we will be alerted and we can take action on it. how can we identify that id is our's? we will add S#=XXXXXX with our ID's to know...

    Convert RACF to UTF-8

    It would be beneficial if RACF supported full UTF-8 natively, it would allow greater support for specialized characters in names and descriptions, it would also make communication with other systems much easier.

    Improve RACROUTE macro for REQUEST=FASTAUTH to MNOTE on missing WKAREA

    RACROUTE REQUEST=FASTAUTH needs a second work area (WKAREA) that other requests like "auth" don't require (they just required the WORKA), the idea is to add a MNOTE, just like when the normal work area is missing:** ASMA254I *** MNOTE *** 154+ 12,...

    Support for Large Block Interface in IRRADU00

    By enabling LBI for OUTDD (or XMLFORM), IRRADU00 would spend less CPU time on I/O processing, thereby potentially increasing throughput. Also, data compression on tape would be more efficient when storing large OUTDD data sets.

    Extend the passphrase length to 128 bytes.

    This will be useful for even better security.

    More Granular RACF Dataset member level access SAF checking

    We have a PDS dataset where several application encrypted password files are housed. Splitting the contents of this PDS is not easily achievable. Can RACF architecture allow for an enhancement feature that performs dataset access SAF checks at the...

    Changes on USER's profile to take effect without requiring re-login of an already logged-on user

    This will be useful as it eliminates the need for a already logged user to log out and log back in after changes on user's profile (e.g. connected groups) .

    Change authorization to the LISTDSD and RLIST commands and remove access from ID without any privileges.

    The current access to the LISTDSD/RLIST commands allow TSO users to build an access list of all dataset and resource it has access to. This allow the ID to explore any mistake in RACF rule and build attack vectors without logging. remove the follo...

    RACF certificate mirroring for z/OS Unix

    More and more tools are being ported to z/OS that cannot interface with RACF, which is annoying because sometimes RACF already has some of the certificates these tools need in a keyring. It would be cool if we could somehow define that a keyring s...
