    Increase the length allowed for profiles in the RCICSRES and WCICSRES classes

    RACF supplies built in definitions for the default CICS security classes.For RCICSRES and WCICSRES the MAXLNTH values are not large enough for the names that CICS could potentially generate. Currently there are two issues: RCICSRES and WCICSRES ...

    Move settings of password phrase rules from ICHPWX11-exit to RACF SETROPTS

    Today we use the Exit ICHPWX11 to manage our rules for RACF Password Phrases (e.g. length of Password Phrase, valid Characters). Unfortunately the exit is not supported by IBM. A sample is delivered with SYS1.SAMPLIB, but the most current version ...

    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.
