Hi John,

SailPoint IIQ has 2 different connectors. The RACF connector (which has the 
CTSxxxx STCs you mention) and the RACF LDAP Connector which uses the SDBM 
backend. We've implemented only the LDAP Conncetor. The LDAP connector uses the 
IBM Tivoli Directory Server which is included with z/OS. The SDBM backend 
allows us to make all types of RACF definitions, however I don't think it 
allows us to issue TSO commands. I've looked at the documentation and there is 
nothing there. I've also looked to see if there are any exits available and 
haven't found anything there either ☹

Sasan,

SailPoint IIQ can be customized to issue the IDCAMS DEFINE ALIAS and the IDCAMS 
DELETE ALIAS commands.

The "CTSxxxxx" STCs will need to have the requisite "READ" access to resource 
ID "STGADMIN.IGG.DEFDEL.UALIAS" in resource class ID "FACILITY".

That's actually what we've been doing for a long time. Our Sec admins use ISPF 
interface to make all RACF/TSO definitions. We will soon be using a new product 
to provision RACF IDs called Sailpoint IIQ. IIQ uses LDAP Server to provision 
RACF IDs and that will most likely be done by Helpdesk or other users who have 
little knowledge of RACF and TSO.

We have to figure out a way to automate the ALIAS creation process when a RACF 
ID with TSO segment is defined but I'm not sure how we can do that yet.

who is responsible for setting up the ID's? 
most places I've been its the security team that creates the ID' provides the 
access to resources and creates the alias's, that can be, and have been 
streamlined in a lot of places I worked, the SECADMIN's only need to run a REXX 
or CLIST, provide the ID to get started and that script creates all the 
required security, and creates the ALIAS for the ID

Hi list, 

We're currently provisioning RACF IDs using the Tivoli Directory Server (LDAP 
SDBM backend). For IDs that are defined with TSO segment we need to figure out 
a way to automatically create an ALIAS. What would be the best way to go about 
this? I've thought about doing it in our LOGON PROC, however that would require 
users to have UPDATE access to the master catalog which we would like to avoid. 
How else can we go about this? 

Thanks
