The IBM z/OS System Authorization Facility (SAF) provides essential protection for most security aspects of ELS. SAF is typically implemented with the IBM RACF package or equivalent. This section outlines using a RACF-based SAF environment to install and configure a secure ELS installation.
The Oracle document StorageTek Enterprise Library Software: Installing ELS describes how to install and configure your version of ELS using RACF protection. Refer to this document for more information on following security-related installation topics:
Installing the base software and the latest cumulative maintenance bundle
ELS load library APF authorization
HSC user exit library APF authorization
SMC JES3 load library APF authorization
These Oracle documents describe post-installation configuration tasks for your version of ELS:
