API comprised several key components designed to facilitate secure access to z/OS security services. The central component was the API server, which acted as the primary interface for applications. This server handled incoming requests, performed necessary security checks, and translated the requests into calls to the underlying security products (RACF, CA ACF2, or CA Top Secret).
Communication between the API server and the security products utilized native z/OS protocols, ensuring compatibility and performance. The API server also included modules for authentication, authorization, and auditing. Authentication relied on the methods provided by the underlying security products, such as user ID and password verification.
Authorization was managed through the access control models of RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret, including role-based access control (RBAC) and access control lists (ACLs). All security-related actions were logged for auditing purposes. The API server interacted with the application interface, allowing developers to integrate security functions into their COBOL and PL/I applications.
