All,

I have a COBOL written STC that is single thread socket server. It receives
messages that are
RACF commands and then calls a module which calls r_ admin. My question is
this,
when I initially started working with this code , it was AC (1) , I didn't
think anything about it.
But we are in the process of building a CI process the the STC main program
was blinded as AC(0).
The client made the RACF call failed Saf=8, RACF=16, RACF-reason-code=8,
'insufficient authority'.
The calling module was AC(0) also , at this point I knew what it was
re-assembled the called program to be
AC(1) and everything in 'Dodge' was good, it worked.


Now the question, I want to run a STC as AC(0) and have the caller as
described above.
I am concerned about the security hole that is open, the call last a few ms
if that.
The second question is about how it works. Since I am dealing with COBOL is
the APF
Arena, does it behave the same ?

Thanks in advance,

Scott
