Introduction

Automated Sign-On for Mainframe enables an end user to use a terminal emulation client to use a terminal emulation client to automatically log on to a host application on a z/OS mainframe.

Automated Sign-On for Mainframe is an add-on product that requires the base installation of Host Access Management and Security Server and its Administrative Server.

To implement Automated Sign-On for Mainframe, configurations are required on:

  • the MSS Administrative Server

  • the terminal emulation client session

  • a data store option

  • z/OS

Configuration must be done by both the Management and Security Server administrator and the mainframe administrator.
