In thinking about uses for the mainframe to extend its life, one that came to mind is using RACF as a password server so users need only a single password to logon into the many systems they must access. Like most shops today, we have a multitude of Microsoft & Unix servers, each having different security and hence, different passwords. We have reviewed many offerings from vendors and most ( if not all ) completely ignore the mainframe and are ENORMOUSLY expensive. Also, their performance was disappointing and their systems were buggy. I would be interested in hearing comments about anyone who has heard of a RACF-based product or written something of their own to accomplish this. Also comments about the general feasability and difficulty of such an endeavor would be welcome. To do this relatively inexpensively on the mainframe would be quite a coup for an 'obsolete' platform.
