Format of the authorized-caller table

For each authorized caller (program), the RACF® authorized-caller table contains a 12-byte entry in the following format:

Length

Description

8

Caller name, left-justified and padded with blanks. (The last entry in the table must contain a blank caller name.)

4

Authorization code.

X'40000000' indicates that the caller is authorized to issue RACROUTE REQUEST=LIST.

X'80000000' indicates that the caller is authorized to issue RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY without the NEWPASS, PHRASE, NEWPHRASE, ICTX, ICRX, and IDID keywords.

The RACF authorized-caller table resides in the link pack area (LPA) in ICHAUTAB, which is an installation-replaceable module. To add an entry to the RACF authorized-caller table, you can do one of the following:

Use the SPZAP service aid to add the entry to the ICHAUTAB module that IBM® supplies. (See z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Tools and Service Aids for information on SPZAP.)
Note: ICHAUTAB can handle up to six table entries. If your installation requires more than six, you must reassemble the ICHAUTAB module.
Reassemble the ICHAUTAB module with the new entry and link edit it again into the LPA. You can link ICHAUTAB with either RMODE=24 or RMODE=ANY.
