Full Description:
Overview
Learn about security implementation for Customer Information Control System 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. Understand both the CICS and RACF definitions necessary to establish effective security controls for CICS. Explore the security interface between CICS, RACF, and DB2. Hands-on lab projects can be done in teams, depending on the number of attendees and location.
Apply what you learn in the classroom with hands-on lab exercises where you actually set up the definitions in both CICS and RACF. This lab begins with exercises where you familiarize yourself with the CICS and RACF lab environment. Start with a CICS address space that has no security and learn how to protect your CICS region resources. In subsequent lab exercises, set up user sign-on security, protect transactions, and set up resource-level security and System Programmer Interface (SPI) command security. In the last lab exercise, establish security between a Terminal-Owning Region (TOR) and an Multiregion Operation (MRO)-connected Application-Owning Region (AOR).
Skills 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
Protect CICS system resources so that CICS itself has access but others, such as TSO users or batch jobs, are denied access
Define CICS terminal users to RACF and restrict the CICS regions to which these users are allowed to sign on
Control access to individual CICS transactions, CICS application resources accessed by these transactions, CICS System Programmer Interface (SPI) commands used within transactions, and installation-defined resources used to support application-specific security requirements
Use RACF to secure access to CICS from other platforms via Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) connections
Identify the key areas to secure for CICSPlex System Manager
