Set Up Automated Single Sign-On for Mainframe

Automated Sign-On for Mainframe - Administrator Guide has additional information on configuring this option.

Automated Sign-On for Mainframe is an add-on product to Management and Security Server that enables an end user to authenticate to a terminal emulation client and be automatically logged on to a host application on the z/OS mainframe.

  1. Install and configure the Automated Sign-On for Mainframe add-on for Management and Security Server. You can find complete instructions in the Automated Sign-On for Mainframe - Administrator Guide.

  2. After the Management and Security Server setup is complete, open the Administrative Console to add sessions and map users to those sessions. During that process, you can complete the additional configuration needed to implement automated sign-on.

  3. A Host Access for the Cloud macro sends the user’s mainframe username and pass ticket to the host application. The user is then automatically logged in. To help users create the macro there is a macro API containing an AutoSignon object and a sample macro in the Users Guide.
