OS/390 Security Server Audit Tool and Report Application

Redbooks logo

An IBM Redbooks publication

Abstract

This redbook is intended to give data security auditors an overview of
the various tools that are available to audit a OS/390 Security Server
environment. It describes an application that is used to assist in both
OS/390 Security Server administration and auditing. This document
also describes the RACF Database Unload Utility, which became available
in RACF Version 1 Release 9, and the RACF SMF Data Unload Utility,
available with RACF Version 2 Release 1.

The RACF SMF Data Unload Utility enables installations to create
a sequential file from the SMF security-relevant audit data.
The RACF Database Unload Utility unloads the RACF database to a
sequential file. Both sequential files can be used in several ways:
viewed directly, used as input for installation-written programs,
and manipulated with sort/merge utilities.

These sequential files can also be uploaded to a database manager to
process complex inquires and create installation-tailored reports. The
auditing tools that are described in this book are based on
DB2 as the database manager.

The document is primarily intended for RACF auditors, but RACF security
administrators might also find the information useful and valuable.
