Enterprise Security: Building On All Your Assets

Today's datacenters embrace various platforms in conjunction with z/OS. Kerberos can provide an integrated approach to enterprise-wide user authentication and therefore access control using RACF/ACF2/Top Secret. It is de-facto on LINUX, UNIX, Windows and its use here is widespread. It is already implemented on z/OS for DB2, WAS, FTP, TELNET and others. In this presentation you will hear real life user experiences when implementing DB2 Connect to DB2 z/OS authentication. It also addresses authentication where the client is on z/OS and wishes to authenticate using Kerberos against LINUX, UNIX and Windows.
