Neither RACF nor ACF2 "... validates a users access to specific 
applications...".  Rather, both respond to queries from applications. How the 
query is crafted and what is done with the results is up to the application.  
Therefore, the place I'd focus is in the application manager's code.  

HTH and good luck.

Subject: ACF2/RACF User Appliation Logical Access

Does anyone know how ACF2 validates a users access to specific applications?

Recently we tried to migrate from ACF2 to RACF and were forced to fallback 
because ACF2 was somehow *wildcarding* a user's access to applications whereas 
RACF was iterating through a list of applications.

The resulting overhead across 1000's of users exhausted memory leaving no room 
for LSQA and producing 878 abends.
