I respectfully disagree. Perhaps @Peter Relson has already said this better 
than I will, but it is hard to see the question in isolation. Yes, what you say 
is true: AC(1) by itself does little; it is neither necessary nor sufficient 
for running authorized. But I might assume that the OP already knows how 
(neglecting any permissions issue) to link into an APF library, and the 
question should be interpreted as "how do I get a program to start running 
authorized?"

I stand by my answer.

Heh.  Not so; answering the question asked requires only a simple "yes".
And deserves little more.

Re the rest: AC(1) does far less that you and others imply.  It's merely a
signal the program wants to be authorized.  The key is access to
APF-authorized datasets.  And if people who don't know what they're doing
have access to those, well then, that system has some integrity issues.
