Programmer's Guide.

Customer Additions to the CDT

Installations must verify that classes

they have added to the class

(CDT) do not conflict with new classes

shipped with RACF. If duplicate

entries are detected, the following

error messages are issued at

ŸFor a duplicate router table entry, RACF issues this message and processing:ICH527I RACF DETECTED AN ERROR IN THE INSTALLATION ROUTER￿

TABLE, ENTRY class_name, ERROR CODE 1.

ŸFor a duplicate CDT entry, RACF issues this message and enters fa

If a conflict in class names occurs, you must delete the profiles installation-defined class with the conflicting name, delete the CDT ent class, add a CDT entry with a different name, and redefine the pr

Do not assemble the user-defined CDT (ICHRRCDE) on OS/390 Release 2 a attempt to use it on a system running RACF at a lower level than RACF

Exit Processing

Installation-written exits might be affected by new function introduce Release 2 Security Server (RACF).

Effects of OS/390 OpenEdition DCE

Support on

ICHRCX01, ICHRCX02,

and IRRSXT00

 

 

OS/390 OpenEdition

DCE support

can affect:

Ÿ The RACROUTE REQUEST=AUTH preprocessing and processing exits

ŸThe IRRSXT00 installation exit

RACROUTE REQUEST=AUTH Preprocessing

and

RACF

support

for OS/390 OpenEdition DCE introduces new indicators in the

ACEE.

These

indicators mark

the ACEE clientas a ACEE. Client ACEEs are

created by OS/390 OpenEdition and RACF on behalf of multithreaded unau application servers on OS/390. There are two types of client ACEE:

ŸUnauthenticated client ACEE

When

an unauthenticated client ACEE is used in an access control de

two

authorization checks occur.
