2.2 Create host sessions with the automated sign-on macro.

These settings are needed for testing, and can also be used in production.

In brief, you will

  • Create an IBM 3270 session using the Administrative Console.

  • Record and edit a logon macro in the host session.

For Automated Sign-On for Mainframe, the macro must

  • Send a host application ID to the MSS Administrative Server so that the Administrative Server can request a PassTicket from DCAS.

  • Insert the user's RACF credentials (PassTicket and mainframe user ID) that are returned from the MSS Administrative Server (to the client) into the data that is transmitted to the host. This action logs the user on to the mainframe application.

Follow the steps to create and configure an IBM 3270 session for either a Windows-based or web-based emulator.
