DB2 for z/os: Using RACF [DSR]
OVERVIEW
Today more and more organizations are using RACF to control all aspects of Db2 security, not just the system as in the past. Now all internal security needs at both the system and data levels, such as access to Db2 for z/OS objects and data, are managed via RACF.

Using RACF & Digital Certificates [DCERT]
OVERVIEW
Systems security requirements have become much more stringent and complex over recent years, following the advent of TCP/IP and applications that interface with TCP/IP.
This essential new course explains how to set up and administer RACF Digital Certificates to ensure the privacy, integrity and accountability of your data as it is passed across a TCP/IP network.
The course gives attendees a sound understanding of how RACF, Cryptography, SSL, Ciphers and Digital Certificates work together, and are used in the z/OS environment.
This course includes extensive hands-on exercises, with each student being given their own z/OS system on which to work. These exercises run after each major topic during the course, clarifying and reinforcing what has been taught.
