The RACF component of the OS/390 Security Server works together with your OS/390 system to protect critical data in your enterprise and give authorized users access to this data.
RACF uses a unique user ID to identify each person trying to access the system and a password to authenticate that identity. After you've accessed the system, RACF controls your level of access authority for each resource. It checks the security classification of both you and the data, and gives you access if the required conditions are met.
You can tailor RACF to interact with your present operating environment and adapt to your changing security needs. The RACF remote sharing facility gives you the flexibility to move work from one system to another and administer several systems from a central database.
In a client/server environment, RACF can identify a user ID by extracting information from a digital certificate.
