Acrónimos: RACF
Producto de
IBM que proporciona control de acceso y funciones de auditoría.
RACF, short for
Resource Access Control Facility, is an IBM software product. It is a security
system that provides access control and auditing functionality for the z/OS and
z/VM operating systems. Its primary market competitors have been ACF2 and
TopSecret, both now produced by Computer Associates.
In addition to
being one of the most mature and scalable security monitors in computing, it
has some interesting features that are not often found in Microsoft Windows or
Unix environments. It can, for example, set permissions for file patterns
that is, set the permissions even for files that do not yet exist. Those
permissions are then used should the file (or other object) be created at a
later time. In other words, RACF establishes security policies rather than just
permission records.
RACF has
continuously evolved to support such modern security features as digital
certificates/public key infrastructure services, LDAP interfaces, and case
sensitive IDs/passwords. (The latter is a reluctant concession to promote
interoperability with other systems, such as Unix and Linux.) The underlying
zSeries hardware works closely with RACF. For example, digital certificates are
protected within tamper-proof cryptographic processors. Major mainframe
subsystems, especially DB2 Version 8, use RACF to provide multi-level security
(MLS).
