Remote user sign-on status with LU6.2

With the ATTACHSEC parameters, IDENTIFY, MIXIDPE, PERSISTENT, and VERIFY, the remote user remains signed on after the conversation associated with the first attach request is complete.

CICS then accepts attach requests from the same user without a new sign on until one of the following events occurs:
  • The period specified in the USRDELAY system initialization parameter system initialization parameter elapses after completion of the last transaction associated with the attach request for this user.
  • CICS® is notified of certain changes in the RACF® profile of a signed-on remote user, or a signed-on user who is not directly using a physical terminal or console, through a type 71 RACF Event Notification (ENF). For details, see Changing the RACF profile of a remote user.
  • The CICS region shuts down.
If you alter the RACF profile of a signed-on remote user, for example by revoking the user, CICS continues to use the authorization established at the first attach request until one of the following situations occurs:
  • The transaction performs a syncpoint.
  • The attach request ends.
  • Sign off occurs because RACF notifies CICS of changes to a user profile, and an attached request associated with that signed-on user ID completes, for all operands of ATTACHSEC except LOCAL.
  • Sign off occurs because RACF notifies CICS of changes to a user profile, a new attach request is made, and the value in the USRDELAY system initialization parameter has not expired. This sign off is followed by a sign on.
