Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for using a digital certificate to access legacy host applications and/or data which are protected by a host-based security system such as RACF (Resource Access Control Facility, a product offered by the IBM Corporation) and which typically require a separate user identification and password. Use of the present invention enables the client to access the host applications and/or data using a single system log on, without requiring modification to host programs.
