Hi,
We have a windows desktop application and want to enable RACF based authentication for enabling logon to the application.
Is there anyway we can make a call from Windows to RACF, passing Mainframe USERID and PASSWORD and RACF should return "Authenticated" or "Not Authenticated".
The requirement is sort of exposing RACF function as an API endpoint.
Apart from userid/password authentication, we also need to be able to change user's password by mentioning old and new passwords.
Could you please point me to a product or approach to achieve this. Thank you. |

When STFW it reveals something Microsoft Enterprise SSO related stuff for that purpose but I might be wrong.  |

| We do have that, GUI first make a call to MF RACF modules to validate the user id for that application. Only thing is , the user id is not same as racf id in my case. Once upon getting info from the GUI team I shall update further if that's really what needed here. |

| Thank you for the responses. z/OS Connect looks promising. Let me try if it can perform authentication services. |
