Oh, my. Given the fact that many of our users cannot remember a single RACF logon id, assigning them multiple would cause chaos. And is against company policy. We really need to implement EIM and an SSO solution (zero cost with no overhead, of course) so that Windows people can access z/OS (TSO, ftp, and CICS) without needing to do another logon. Of course, this won't solve all the id problems because we have literally had people forget their name (Oh? I said kathy.mulligan? It should be cathy.mulligan! But everybody calls me "cat".)
