Subject: IBM SANnav zOS RACF LDAP support
We have a mainframe customer that uses IBM b-Series Director class switches for their FICON SAN infrastructure. This past year they migrated to IBM SANnav Management Portal Enterprise Edition to manage their SANs. They have also adopted a corporate policy that requires all systems management security authentication to use LDAP.
The mainframe team at this customer has deployed zOS RACF LDAP. However, they have not been able to configure SANnav to use RACF LDAP. They are requesting the following:
SANnav LDAP support to include:
- z/OS 2.4 and use the included LDAP server (A.K.A. RACF LDAP)
- support RACF LDAP for authentication of both user ID and Groups
- specially database SDBM GLDBSD31 SDBM-0001
How can we accommodate this customer
