Simplify Crypto Cipher Management in HMC

Currently HMC just offers a list (in a not auto scaling window) of available ciphers without any further details to which TLS version they might belong. It would be a great simplification if I can just select that I want to use TLS1.3 and TLS1.2 a...

Add option in SDSF z/OSMF Plugin settings to set global default TSO logon procedure

Having an option in the SDSF z/OSMF Plugin settings to set a global default TSO logon procedure for all z/OSMF users would be beneficial, as this will allow users to start using the SDSF z/OSMF Plugin right away with minimal user intervention.

Accept and generate RACF Identity Tokens for authentication

z/OSMF can generate and validate JWTs, but the JWTs are only valid with z/OSMF itself. If z/OSMF could generate RACF Identity Tokens (IDT), then the generated token could be used with other z/OS components that support RACF IDTs such as Db2 for z/...

Create New SMF Record subtype for ACEECHK Warnings

When enabling ACEECHK class in RACF to detect ACEE modification detection events, only IRR421I is issued to the syslog. This request is to have a SMF80 subtype record created to log these events so they can be easily researched among recent or arc...

Provide common APIs in support of PDSE Member Generations - Part 2

See https://ibm-z-hardware-and-operating-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/ZOS-I-3783 for part 1. Given that PDSE member generations are supported by some, and growing, IBM elements, it only seems reasonable to make it easy. Thus I'm rating this IDEA as...

Support for CCM algorithm in SystemSSL

For TLS1.3 there are 5 official supported ciphers: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256 And zOS SystemSSL does not support:TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256TLS_AES_128_CCM_SH...

RACF RACDCERT should support PDS(E) and zFS as well as sequential data sets

RACDCERT ADD, CHECKCERT, GENREQ etc. require a unique sequential dataset. Usability would be improved if RACF supported a PDS or PDSE member, or even a zFE file.

provide Display SHCDS command with results that go to SYSLOG for automation.

SHCDS commands work both in batch and in the TSO/E foreground, but the output isn't available in SYSLOG. Automation around SMSVSAM/RLS issues would be easier if we could drive standard z/os commands such as /D SHCDS xxx and have output go to SYSLOG.

Utilization information of the AI accelerator

Similar to CPACF there should be some monitoring function available to observe the physical utilization of the AI accelerator. CPACF offers at least a counter of instruction calls which is visible via SMF

z/OSMF Network Configuration Assistant import function

The z/OS AI Services workflow creates a flat file with the AT-TLS policy. We have no way of importing that file into z/OSMF NCA without entering all the information manually. We need the ability to import that file into z/OSMF NCA.
