If you use z/OSMF as an authentication provider, provide a valid `APPLID`. The API ML generates a passticket for the specified `APPLID` and subsequently uses this passticket to authenticate to z/OSMF. The default value in the installation of z/OSMF is `IZUDFLT`.

## Authorization

Authorization is a method used to determine access rights of an entity.

In the API ML, authorization is performed by the z/OS security manager ([ACF2](https://www.broadcom.com/products/mainframe/identity-access/acf2), [IBM RACF](https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/zosbasics/com.ibm.zos.zsecurity/zsecc_042.htm), [Top Secret](https://www.broadcom.com/products/mainframe/identity-access/top-secret)). An authentication token is used as proof of valid authentication. The authorization checks, however, are always performed by the z/OS security manager.
