The IBM RACF connector can be used to synchronize IBM RACF dataset information. The LDAPX exit must be installed and configured for this functionality to be supported.
The examples in this topic shows how IBM RACF dataset information can be synchronized. IBM RACF dataset names contain asterisk (*) characters and as such cannot be synchronized to Active Directory which does not allow asterisk characters in names. As such, the example shows a synchronization to a Microsoft SQL database. It is assumed that Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Manager have been installed and configured.
Using Microsoft SQL Server Manager, create a database called IBM RACF_Datasets. Within that database, create a table called Datasets with the following columns:
Column Name |
Data Type |
Audit |
nchar(100) |
Create_Group |
nchar(10) |
Owner |
nchar(10) |
UACC |
nchar(10) |
UID (database key) |
nchar(100) |
Create a connection to this database and table with the ARSS Microsoft SQL Server Connector.
