Preparation

Before you configure Bravura Security Fabric to manage CA-ACF2, RACF, or CA-TopSecret user accounts and passwords with Mainframe Connector, you must:

  • Install Mainframe Connector on the mainframe. This process is documented in the Mainframe Connector documentation.

  • Document the host name or IP address of the mainframe LPAR where Mainframe Connector is installed.

  • Document the TCP port number of the Mainframe Connector socket listener.

  • Set the secret key in the configuration data set for Mainframe Connector to match the key on the Bravura Security Fabric server.

  • Create an unprivileged account on the mainframe. The Bravura Security Fabric server will have to present the password for this account before Mainframe Connector will accept administrative transactions from it.

  • Create at least one test account, whose password you will manage.
