IBM Security zSecure CICS Toolkit
Features, advantages and benefits
| Features | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| RACF administration from a CICS interface | Users can stay in the CICS application to issue security commands to the mainframe. Field administrators can quickly issue commands through a user-friendly menu for functions like password resets for failed user logins and user additions. | Once you have delegated basic security functions to your offsite administrators, they can manage select security functions without needing detailed RACF training. With Security zSecure CICS Toolkit, application programmers do not need to know the RACF database or its layout to create a customized RACF security management application. |
| Web-enablement CICS-RACF API | If you have an application on your Web server that communicates with CICS on your mainframe, your CICS application can use the advanced COBOL API capabilities in Security zSecure CICS Toolkit to execute select RACF security functions. Such functions could be verification of a user ID and password entered on the Web interface against the RACF database or retrieval of information about a user ID and its privileges from the RACF database that gets passed on to the Web application. | By leveraging this sophisticated API, Web applications can use RACF functions for security administration, authentication, and access control. Using the CICS RACF API also allows you to integrate CICS event data into the audit logs for analysis and reporting with zSecure Audit. |
| Customized screens | You can easily customize Security zSecure CICS Toolkit screens by using the API, which can be contacted by any CICS program with a standard CICS command area. Use the API to tailor the look of your screens to the requirements of a specific installation and show as little or as much as you want to your decentralized administrators. You can easily customize Security zSecure CICS Toolkit screens to meet the requirements of a specific installation and display exactly the right amount of detail for decentralized administrators. | With customized screens in Security zSecure CICS Toolkit, you never have to worry about providing too much information since the screens show only the options and fields that you select. |
| Resource access checks | The API facilitates access checks for more than 2,000 resources so that you can easily replace an applications internal security with RACF security, which can significantly improve application performance. | Reduces the burden of maintenance programming and administration for CICS application developers |
| Security support for legacy and internally-developed applications | Centralizes in the RACF database the security for legacy and internally-developed CICS applications. | Enhance the security and auditability of legacy and homegrown applications |
IBM Security zSecure CICS Toolkit, a component of the IBM Security zSecure suite, adds mainframe administration capabilities to the CICS environment, such as password resets and authorization management.
