I am an infrastructure engineer, raised on Active Directory, reading
IBM Redbooks to get some conceptual background. There are couple
acronyms I have not yet seen spelled out or defined that are causing me
some confusion...
What do the following stand for, and what are their function in
relation to RACF?
SDBM?
TDBM?
Any explanation or pointers to the appropriate redbook or other
document would be greatly appreciated.
SDBM is a specialized backend of the z/OS LDAP server. It provides LDAP
access to the user and group profiles in the RACF database. It has a
specialized schema which cannot be modified or added to.
TDBM is the DB2 backend of the z/OS LDAP server. It can take the same
attributes and objectclasses as any other run-of-the-mill LDAP server.
If you have more questions, feel free to ask. Documentation could be
called mediocre without being abusive, it consists of two handbooks:
SC24-5923 z/OS LDAP Server Administration and Use
SC24-5924 z/OS Security Server LDAP Client Programming
Both handbooks can be read on or downloaded from the IBM BookServer
website.
