RACF exits report

z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide
SA23-2287-00

The data security monitor (DSMON) produces the RACF® exits report. This report lists the names of all the installation-defined RACF exit routines and specifies the size of each exit routine module. If the RACF communications vector table (RCVT), which contains the address of each RACF exit-routine module except IRREVX01 and IRRVAF01, indicates that an exit-routine module should exist, but the module cannot be loaded, or that the entry address does not correspond with the address specified in the RCVT, DSMON prints an error message.

DSMON lists IRREVX01 or IRRVAF01 when at least one active exit routine is defined for the exit point at the time the report is created. The report does not include the routine names or sizes, and lists the length of IRREVX01 and IRRVAF01 as "NA" (not available).

Note: You must have the AUDITOR attribute to run the report. See z/OS Security Server RACF Auditor's Guide for more information.

You can use the information in this report to verify that only those exit routines that have been defined by your installation are active. The existence of any other exit routines might indicate a system security exposure, because RACF exit routines could be used to bypass RACF security checking.

Similarly, if the length of an installation-defined exit routine module differs from the length of the module when it was defined by your installation, you should notify your RACF security administrator, because the module might have unauthorized modifications.
