In this workshop, you learn how to maintain a Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) database with IBM Security zSecure Admin. Also, you learn how to monitor the system with IBM Security zSecure Audit. In the hands-on exercises that are included, you act as a hypothetical RACF security administrator of the PMI company. In this job role, you are responsible for the definition of a RACF security environment for a specific department within the PMI corporation. You learn the basics of the security administration process and how to translate company security policies and guidelines into specific RACF profile definitions and settings. You also learn how to verify the quality and validity of the RACF profiles that you define. Finally, you learn how to interpret and report SMF events that are logged on the z/OS system during this workshop. Most of your RACF management workshop time, you spend on the completion of the exercises at your own pace. The instructor helps out and explains when this assistance is needed.
