The FACILITY class as used by IBM is identified by the name IBMFAC when using CA Top Secret to avoid any confusion between FACILITY as a class and FACILITY as the Facility limitation and control capability of CA Top Secret. The ability to define and limit both signon and resource access by Facility is unique to CA Top Secret and not supported by RACF; therefore, RACF chose to use a different representation for the FACILITY class name.
