EXPRESS LOGON FEATURE – IBM HOST ACCESS CLIENT PACKAGE

November 19, 2018
Vatsala ramachandran, QA manager

In a previous blog, I had written about different Single Sign On options in IBM Host On-Demand.

One of the options specified there is Certificate Express logon. This is proprietary to mainframes only and works only with 3270 sessions. Using this feature, 3270 display sessions can be configured to connect to the host without requiring you to enter a user ID and password. When this feature is enabled on the mainframe, a telnet client like IBM Host On-Demand, can pass certificate information from an SSL connection and the application ID from a macro, to request a user ID and a PassTicket (a temporary password) from the mainframe. Using this combination, a user can be logged on automatically.
