Configuration Assistant enhancements

In z/OS® V1R13 Communications Server, the IBM® Configuration Assistant for z/OS (Configuration Assistant) supports z/OSMF System Authorization Facility (SAF) mode authorization and registers the Configuration Assistant home page with the z/OSMF application linking function. You can use your security product instead of z/OSMF to authorize users. Other applications can link to z/OSMF applications.

In addition, you can do the following tasks:
  • Use password phrases when you are using FTP from the Configuration Assistant
  • Delete backing-store files when you are running in z/OSMF mode
  • Enable a default AT-TLS rule to support the RACF® Remote Sharing Facility (RRSF)
Restriction: You can delete backing-store files from z/OSMF only; you cannot delete backing-store files from the Windows client.
