Hi Andre, Sorry for replying so late but I just recently got round to this - I asked our guys and their answer is:
"The LDS is populated with outbound LDAP changes. It does not accept inbound connections to ACF2. This has nothing to do with age, as it happens. In order to use the LDAP protocol to validate an id/pswd against CA ACF2, the CA LDAP Server for z/OS would be used and is a no charge item. If the user have the LDAP from back then, they can attempt to use it, however, if any issues arise they can't get support as everything R12 and prior is out of support". Please feel free to contact me offline, or our Support team at http://support.ca.com for any further question. Thanks.

Reason is that LDAP is a relitivaly new kid on the block, and I would not expect meaningful support unless you were on the very latest versions of the software. Indeed, many LDAP featres wen't offered in RACF until very recently. But only CA could really address this question. Even so, I'll bet a virtual bervage that their answer will be '..call us back after you are up to date'. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andre Massena Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2012 10:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ACF2 and LDS Hello all, I have a customer who has a rather backlevel version of z/OS (1.5) and ACF2 (6.5) as the ESM. He would like to authenticate from the outside (open) world against ACF2 using CA's ACF2-LDS (LDAP Directory Services). Does anyone know if the LDS implementation of ACF2-LDS is enough in itself to pass LDAP password changes / requests to ACF2 for authentication purposes or does the customer need to buy / acquire more CA addons / plugins / Service Packs to make this happen? Please do not ask me why the customer is running such ancient levels of software, it is a long story.. Much appreciate any ideas.
