IBM Multi-Factor Authentication for z/OS, which is referred to in this document as IBM MFA, provides an alternate authentication mechanism for z/OS networks that are used in conjunction with RSA SecurID-based authentication systems. IBM MFA allows RACF to use RSA SecurID authentication mechanisms in place of the standard z/OS password.

This book provides instructions for customizing and using IBM® Multi-Factor Authentication for z/OS®, which is referred to in this document as IBM MFA. The book is designed to help system administrators, security administrators, and operators customize the product following installation.

Multi-factor authentication protects applications and critical system assets like it's network and servers from bad actors. Verify provides this capability through a simplified policy editor.
