Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are provided for authorizing access to database management system (DBMS) resources using security policies managed by a service external to the DBMS. A DBMS may be provisioned to obtain a database request, identify one or more securable resources that from applications, determine a request context for the system call, and sends a request to an external policy management service. The policy management service may be used to perform a policy evaluation to determine whether to grant access to the securable resources. In some cases, policies are cached by the DBMS. In various examples, the DBMS and policy management service are both hosted on resources managed by a computing resource service provider on behalf of a customer to run mainframe workloads.
