System folder security and RACF
« on: June 07, 2011, 12:38:16 PM »
We're using the security exit, but our installation of RACF we're only protecting UPPER case folder names, not mixed case. Has anyone dealt with the mixed case system log and system load facility folders using RACF?

Hi,

we are reading the racf groups of the current user within the security exit. It's a little bit tricky to get it threadsafe. Within the module we do some checks using the list of racf groups. Using this technique uppercase is no problem, because we can transform whtat we want.

Regards
