eTrust ™ Admin Manages CA-ACF2, CA-Top Secret, and RACF

Overview One of the most significant challenges of today’s distributed computing environments is administering all of the networked resources such as user accounts, user groups, resource access permissions, trust relationship and network drives. Independent studies have shown that administrative costs can be the largest factor making up the total cost of ownership of a network.

For example, network operating systems, electronic mail systems, and “groupware” products all have their own directories. In addition, many organizations have a large number of users configured to use their OS/390 mainframes.
