According to the Wikipedia article, z/OS 1.5 was introduced around
2004. Looking in the ACF2 book (from 2003), it says:

eTrust CA-ACF2 6.5 includes enhancements to support an interface for LINUX
users. This includes a new PAM (Plug-in Authentication Module) to be used
as
an interface to eTrust CA-ACF2 for user authentication. Enhancements
include a
new LINUX User Profile record to map a LINUX name to the eTrust CA-ACF2
LID and Global LINUX Node records identifying nodes to eTrust CA-ACF2.
This
interface becomes part of the Security Integrator and will run as a daemon
on
z/OS and OS/390.

My pedestrian view would be that timing could be such that your
customer's ACF2 came with the PAM module. But you would have to see
whether that lets itself fit on a more recent kernel like in SLES11.
It's not impossible CA did some proprietary protocol rather than
inplement full LDAP.
