Brief Overview

Automated Sign-On for Mainframe enables an administrator to configure a connection to the Digital Certificate Access Server (DCAS) on an IBM z/OS mainframe, and then configure their mainframe sessions so that users can access their entitled sessions using a single login, such as with a smartcard.

The configuration for Automated Sign-On for Mainframe requires an administrator to:

  • Activate Automated Sign-On for Mainframe.

  • Configure the z/OS mainframe.

  • Create and configure an IBM 3270 mainframe session.

  • Set up and store mainframe user mappings.

  • Configure settings in the Administrative WebStation.
