Configuring STA Identity Management - RACF : Installing and Configuring STA’s RACF Authorization Facility

Installing and Configuring STA’s RACF Authorization Facility

STA supports authenticating users with RACF. The capability for this service, however, must be set up separately from STA, since it is not built directly into the application. You must install two separate packages:

•
RACF service for STA that is part of the SMC component of ELS 7.0 and 7.1. You must install the PTF to support this RACF service on the mainframe.
•
WebLogic RACF Security Service Provider (or RACF SSP) that must be installed into WebLogic.

Enable Mainframe Support for STA RACF Authorization

The mainframe side of the RACF service for STA is provided by a CGI routine that is part of the SMC component for ELS 7.0 and 7.1. This CGI routine is called by the SMC HTTP server and uses RACF profiles defined in the FACILITY class.

For STA to use RACF as a means of access authentication, you must perform these steps on the mainframe:

1.
Set up an SMC Started Task that runs the HTTP server. You can find details on how to do this in the ELS document Configuring and Managing SMC.

The port number used for the HTTP server must match the one defined in the WebLogic console, and the host must match the IP name for the host where the SMC task runs.

Note – An existing SMC can be used if it exists on the host where RACF authorization is to be performed. In this case, use the port number of the existing HTTP server when you are performing the WebLogic configuration.

2.
Proceed to “Configure AT-TLS”.
