z/OS Security Server Support › Disable RACF

Disable RACF

RACF is IBM’s SAF compliant security system. It is mainly concerned with system entry validation and resource permission.

RACF must be independently activated, and is not required to run the other Security Server components.

To disable RACF

1. Update the appropriate IFAPRDxx member and change the STATE field to:

   STATE(DISABLED)
   

2. Re‑IPL the system.

   The changes take effect.
