Automated Sign-On Prerequisites

Before you configure Automated Sign-On, be sure these products and servers are available, and then perform the prerequisite steps.

Prerequisite products and servers

• a separate product license for MSS Automated Sign-On for Host Access Add-On
• an LDAP server for authorization

• a terminal emulation client that supports Automated Sign-On:

  • Reflection Desktop 18.0 or higher
  • InfoConnect Desktop 18.0 or higher
  • Host Access for the Cloud 3.0 or higher

Prerequisite actions

1. Integrate the ASO protocol into your host system.

   Automated Sign-On for Host Access requires custom programming on the host computer before you begin configuring.

   Work with your sales representative to learn about the MSS Automated Sign-On for Host Access (ASO) protocol that you must implement on your specific host system. The host must be adapted to process one-time passwords issued by users during logon and validate them with the ASO service.

2. Install the activation file.

   The activation file for Automated Sign-On for Host Access is activation.automated_signon_for_hostaccess-<version>.jaw

   See Installing an Activation File for an Additional Product to install the activation file via the MSS Administrative Console.

3. Enable Automated Sign-On.
