Desirable new feature: GROUP revoke inactive days and consequently new user inactivity policy

We have set SETROPTS INACTIVE(60) and this is applicable for all users. However, we have some specific users with the requirement not to be revoked after 60 days but more than this value. So, Inactivity should be helpful to be defined as group att...

RACF Trace to trace only nonzero return codes

Have "LU userid NORACF OMVS" show all OMVS fields

Unlike all other fields, the MEMLIMIT and SHMEMMAX fields are not shown unless an explicit value is set. This inconsistent behavior is confusing, and makes that you only learn about their existence when you stumble upon their definition in the docs.

Add ability for RACDCERT to handle multiple subject alternative names

Currently, RACDCERT list will only show the first altname for a certificate. Certificates can often have many other altnames, and that information can be difficult to obtain. Also, RACDCERT can only generate certificates with one altname, when man...
