This course explains how to set up security for the z/OS networking environment. With the advent of TCP/IP and the Internet, network security requirements have become more stringent and complex.
The Communications Server, along with other elements in z/OS including RACF and Policy Agent (PAGENT), provides IP security functions. These protect data privacy and intergrity for z/OS, and protect system resources from unauthorized access.
This is a 'workshop' style course, and attendees will work through extensive hands-on exercises, on their own z/OS system.

This course is also available 'on demand' (minimum 2 students) for additional public presentations or for one-company, on-site presentations.

Attendees will need a sound knowledge of TCP/IP concepts and protocols (this can be gained by attending the RSM course TCP/IP Fundamentals), and TCP/IP in a z/OS environment (this can be gained by attending the RSM course z/OS Communications Server Part 2 - Implementing TCP/IP under z/OS. A good knowledge of UNIX System Services is also needed, which can be gained by attending RSM's course Using RACF under UNIX System Services (USS).

  • explain how z/OS SAF, especially RACF, is used to protect your network and communications
  • discuss the RACF Security profiles required to protect access to various network resources
  • describe how Digital Certificates can be implemented and used within z/OS and how various clients and servers use the certificates
  • explain how Digital Certificates are used in a policy-based z/OS environment
  • implement NSS using a daemon and a Client
  • explain the rules and policies used in the Policy Agent (PAGENT) to dictate how users, applications and organizations access and use their IT resources
  • understand how the PAGENT can be configued as a Central Policy Server
  • describe the QoS concepts and how to implement QoS
  • permit or deny IP packets into and out of z/OS using IP Filtering
  • explain how to implement IP Security
  • describe at a high level how the IPSec tunnel traverses a NAT or NAPT device
  • explain how to implement the TLS and SSL protocol technology to protect data exchanges between client and server applications
  • implement TN3270/Telnet security and FTPS
  • implement the SSH daemon and SFTP
  • understand IDS
  • configure policy based routing tables.

TCP/IP Security in a z/OS Environment using Policy Agent & RACF Training Course in Netherlands

The Netherlands, which is also informally known as Holland, is a country located in Northwestern Europe with overseas territories in the Caribbean. The four largest cities are Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. Amsterdam is the country's most populous city and the nominal capital, while The Hague holds the seat of the States General, Cabinet and Supreme Court.

The country is a founding member of the European Union, Eurozone, G10, NATO, OECD, and WTO.

The tourist attractions of the Netherlands are windmills, canals, and tulips. Canals are an important part of Amsterdam's cityscape and Keukenhof, the Garden of Europe, is the largest public garden in the world. The National Museum Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House are must-see places in the Netherlands.
