Why not use the LDAP server that comes with RACF. That way you can have you Active Directory talk to the LPDAP server and then when you sign on to the HTTP server on z/OS have it use the LDAP server for authentication.

We use Windows as our desktop OS <blech>. One "nice" thing about it is that when we go to a restricted internal IIS web site, we are automagically "logged on" to the web site via the Active Directory "trust" mechanism (as I vaguely understand it). Is there any way to extend this so that when a user goes to our z/OS HTTP web server, they can be automagically logged on to their corresponding z/OS RACF id? We do use RACF on z/OS. We don't have any money for this, so a product (unless it is 100% free-as-in-beer and 100% supported) is out of the question. Yes, this is really a whine from the Windows people again about how "unfriendly" z/OS is. I wonder if they whine about our Linux and Solaris servers as well? -- 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.
