One key issue is Identity Flow - once user authenticated on Linux side - how can Identity pass across as "already verified" to the z/OS side in order to be used in authorizations?
Async media like MQ/JMS may not pass Identity transparently - better a synchronous solution. CTG, WebSeal , Federated Identity) are some products in the space of Identity Flow. Closely related - there is a redbook on using RACF via an LDAP client on z/Linux - if need to extend RACF to Linux side.

But I'm curious if anybody out there has actually done anything like this? How difficult is it? Will the Java method be zAAP eligible? Reason: Current management has decided to do a lot of stuff in Java on RedHat Linux. I think it would be interesting to see if we could create some "glue" on z/OS so that Java on Linux could use JMS to talk to Java on z/OS, which would then use some legacy COBOL I/O routines or business logic. Just some "blue sky" thinking on my part at this point due to my ignorance of how difficult this would be. Especially given that most COBOL programmers are still a bit "reactionary" towards doing things differently. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
