Assign/manage PCOMM licenses via M/F security database (e.g. RACF)

Prospective customer would like to swap-out Attachmate for IBM PCOMM but does not want to use the IBM definition of an Authorized User for licensing purposes. Instead, customer wants PCOMM to offer a function similar to that of Attachmate where the end-user license is derived from the Windows AD or better still, the z/OS security system database (i.e. RACF, CA-ACF2 or CA-Top Secret).

    This request is for the PCOMM product rather than the HATS product. Because of that we are rejecting the request here. Because the PCOMM product is not currently on the RFE community you will not see the status of the request reflected on the RFE Community. Please contact PCOMM Level 2 support to open your request.
