Problem Note 5371: New RACF Terminal ID Security Support in OS/390 Connect Spawner
RACF TERMINAL Class security provides a means for securing logons by
terminal id. For TCP/IP users, the IP address will be converted to a
hex number which will correspond to the terminal id that is provided to
RACF. The four 3-byte decimal numbers in the IP address are converted
to an 8-byte (4 x 2) hex number. For example, 169.091.017.131 would
correspond to hex A95B1183. All TCP/IP programs that validate the
userid should convert the ip address to hex and provide this information
to RACF before userid/password validation.
Prior to the __passwd() call the terminal id is put into BPXYTHLI. See
IBM Apar PQ19249 and the RACF documentation for more information on
this.
