IBM Mainframe Security with WebFOCUS
Is anyone using IBM's Mainframe Security (RACF) to any extent with WebFOCUS to control table and field level access by users?

If anyone is using RACF for IMS, VSAM or DB2 tables, I am interested in how you incorporated that into your WebFOCUS architecture.

Thanks,
Tim

RACF is primarily used to control access to dataset's at the sites I work with. So for VSAM and IMS it would be possible to use RACF to control access to those underlying VSAM clusters, however DB2 is a different animal and I don't think you can control it at a data set level (But I am not positive). The only field level security would be to add DBA syntax to the master file descriptions controlling the user to certain values for a field(s).
