CA LDAP Server for z/OS Overview

You can configure a CA LDAP Server for z/OS as a user store by configuring a connection from the Policy Server to the LDAP Server. How you configure the connection from the Policy Server to the LDAP Server depends on the backend option that you are using to secure the LDAP Server:

CA supports the following backend security options for CA LDAP Server:

• CA Top Secret r12 (TSS)
• CA LDAP Server r15 for z/OS (RACF)
• CA LDAP Server r15 for z/OS (ACF2)

Before configuring the connection from the Policy Server to the LDAP Server, become familiar with the objectclass hierarchy for these backend security options and add the backend-related objectclasses to the Policy Server registries in the LDAP namespace.

Note: z/OS is IBM's operating system for mainframe computers.
