Integration detail

Overview

The IDMWORKS IdentityForge IBM RACF connector provides a standard and seamless interface between Okta and the IBM RACF Security Manager. It provides full support for managing z/OS IBM RACF system accounts. The IBM RACF connector automates functions that administrators usually perform manually as it functions as a trusted virtual administrator performing tasks such as creating login IDs, assigning dataset access, changing passwords, managing access rules as well as alias catalog management. This reduces administration costs and provides better control of access and resources.
