Configuring a secure autoinstalled IPIC connection (SC01)
You can configure secure autoinstalled IPIC connections using a template.
You use an IPCONN template to change the default connection settings, so that IPIC connections are autoinstalled with link security and user security. To configure secure autoinstalled IPIC connections, you must modify the CICS® TS sample user-replaceable module (URM) to point to an IPCONN template.
The following figure shows the topology used in this scenario:
Note: This scenario uses CICS Transaction Gateway connecting
to CICS Transaction Server 5.3 over IPIC in remote mode. You
can run this scenario with other versions, but the illustrations and samples might vary. For the
minimum requirements, see Prerequisites.
This scenario uses the default name ctg.ini for the configuration file.
| Component | Parameter | Where set | Example value | Matching values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CICS TG | Server name | IPICSERVER section of ctg.ini | CICSA | |
| CICS TG | Hostname | IPICSERVER section of ctg.ini | cicssrv2.company.com | |
| CICS TG | Port 1 | IPICSERVER section of ctg.ini | 50889 | This value must be the same as 3 |
| CICS TS | IPCONN template | In DFHISCIP (autoinstall user program) | SECTEMPL | |
| CICS TS | TCPIPService 2 | TCPIPService definition | SRV50889 | This value must be the same as 4 |
| CICS TS | Portnumber 3 | TCPIPService definition | 50889 | This value must be the same as 1 |
| CICS TS | TCPIPService 4 | IPCONN definition | SRV50889 | This value must be the same as 2 |
| RACF® | User ID for link security | IPCONN definition in CICS TS | LINKUSER | |
| RACF | User ID for user security | Client application | USERID | |
| RACF | Password for user security | Client application | PASSWORD |
The sample configuration and environment variable
files for this scenario are:
