Implementing RACF Security for CICS/ESA and CICS TS for OS/390

Duration: 5.0 Days

Overview:

Learn about security implementation for Customer Information Control System/Enterprise Systems Architecture (CICS/ESA) and CICS/Transaction Server (CICS/TS) systems using Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) as the external security manager. Learn the implementation tasks for a single-region CICS system and Multi-Region Operation (MRO) or Intersystem Communication (ISC) connected multi-region CICS systems. Describe both the CICS and RACF definitions necessary to establish effective security controls for CICS/ESA and CICS/TS. Explore the security interface between CICS, RACF, and DB2. Hands-on lab projects may be done in teams depending on the number of attendees and location.

Who Should Take This Course:

Security and CICS support individuals responsible for designing, implementing, or administering RACF security for CICS/ESA and CICS/TS systems.

What You Are Taught:

• Identify the tasks that must be done in RACF and CICS to implement security
• Develop a step-by-step plan to implement RACF security on your CICS systems
• Implement RACF-based security for CICS systems in single-system and CICS intercommunication (MRO and ISC) environments
  
• Make the definitions in RACF and CICS to protect transactions, CICS resources, and SPI commands
• Migrate from CICS internal security to RACF security
• Protect CICS system resources so that CICS itself has access but others, such as Time Sharing Option (TSO) users or batch jobs, are denied access

Topics Include:

• CICS Overview
• RACF Overview
• Protecting the CICS Region
• Sign-On Security
• Transaction Security
• CICS Resource and SPI Command Security
• CICS Intercommunication Security
• Security for CICS Client-Server Interfaces
• Planning for Implementation
• CICS and DB2 Security

Prerequisites:

Familiarity with RACF or CICS is required.
