Titan's Web Sponsor Replaces the North System's RACFREG

On October 16, Titan's Web Sponsor replaced RACFREG, the OS/390 North user registration system.

What Titan's Web Sponsor Can Do

North system account sponsors now have an easy-to-use Web interface for customer registration and account management, similar to what the South system has. Web Sponsor allows account sponsors to:

•    acquire userids for new or existing customers
•    change customer information
•    remove userids
•    perform numerous security and other functions for accounts
•    display customer and account information


All customer information, userids, and agency information from the North system registry were replicated into the Titan customer registry used by Web Sponsor. While Titan Web Sponsor provides the same functionality as RACFREG, these terms have changed:

North System		Titan
agency codes		accounts
RACF coordinators		primary sponsors security coordinators

Using Web Sponsor

When Titan's Web Sponsor is opened on a browser, the account sponsor is prompted for userid and password. Once entered, the userid and password are remembered by the browser and passed to the Web Sponsor application until the browser is closed.

Using Web Sponsor, account sponsors can affect only their own accounts or userids registered to those accounts. Full documentation for Web Sponsor is provided on the "Web Sponsor" Web page—use the "Documentation" link under Miscellaneous.
