Proxy Configuration

The RACF Endpoint page contains a section where clients can configure a Proxy administrative ID and password to be used for user password changes from the SAWI. When configured, this ID and password is used to issue the password change request for the SAWI user to change their password. This is helpful and needed if a SAWI user cannot supply a password (for example, the password is forgotten) or their password is expired and RACF and they cannot be authenticated. When using a proxy administrative ID, standard RACF security rules apply (for example, scoping) and password syntax checking specified in the RACF System Options Password field is enforced.

Note: The check boxes on the Endpoints Setting tab are for legacy purposes only. You can perform proxy configuration and administration support from the Self-Service interface.
