    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...

    Additional Authority needed on RACF Classes

    Class Authority allows a userid to create profiles in a RACF class owned by themselves or another but they can only see profiles they either have at least READ access to or own. Only a user with SPECIAL can see all profiles in a class, there needs...

    Set RVARY password encryption as default

    I just learned today that you have to explicitly tell RACF you want the RVARY password encrypted with the KDFAES positional, why is this not done by default? Doesn't seem like it would hurt anything to force everyone to use encryption on their dat...

    Determine why User ID is REVOKED. Excessive Password Violations or Administrative Revoke

    Note: It was suggested I open this RFE with RACF and zSecure. There will be 2 identical RFEs one for each product. There is no way to determine why a User ID is REVOKED. When an administrator looks at a User ID that is revoked, there is not anyway...

    Enhance RACF so a Passticket Only UserID is possible

    Please enhance RACF so that we have a new attribute of let's call it PASSTICKET or PASSTICKETONLY We use passtickets and for security reasons don't want the UserIDs to also have to have a password.

    An AD to ESM mapping mechanism for objects and actions with a RESTful API interface

    All of the front-end and orchestration tools work off Active Directory authorizations. There is no connection between any AD entitlements and the resources on the mainframe environment. To prevent a man in the middle attack there is a need to crea...

    Enhance IRRXUTIL/R_admin to support DIGTCERT/DIGTCERT

    I would like to see the R_admin/IRRXUTIL interface enhanced to support the "non-standard" RACF classes DIGTCERT and DIGTRING, this would allow administrators to extract all digital certificate info using IRRXUTIL without needing to rely on using I...

    Provide support in RACF to add and list extended key usage (EKU)

    Currently RACF does not allow to add extended key usage in a certificate. It also can not list. However working with TLS 1.3, it is necessary to have clientAuth in extended key usage. It is not desired to use old Java keytool or openssl to g...

    Remove DES as an option for password encryption for newer releases of RACF

    Please can you consider removing DES as an option in RACF in a future release of z/OS & RACF, to force sites to upgrade to KDFAES. I teach a lot of Auditors about Mainframe Security and they are very surprised to learn that DES is still a thin...
