3.0 Initial Setup

The Initial Setup steps ensure that the required products and components are installed. Some basic configuration needs to be done before you configure Automated Sign-on for Mainframe.

The installation requirements are summarized in System Requirements and Prerequisites.

In brief, the administrators will:

Install Management and Security Server.
in MSS:

Activate the Automated Sign-On for Mainframe Add-On.

Configure Authentication & Authorization.
in the Emulator: Enable emulator for Automated Sign-on.

For Workspace Automated Sign-on, create the macro and save the session document.
on z/OS: Configure DCAS and RACF.

These tasks comprise the top row in the Configuration Workflow chart.

Use the Task List for each Administrator to distribute the configuration tasks to the appropriate administrator.
