Security Credentials for accessing CICS
® can come from three different places.
These are the ConnectionSpec properties, the deployed security credentials,
or the server itself (for nonmanaged environments, the third option does not
apply). The precedence for these credentials is:
- The Server Supplied Credentials (highest precedence)
- The ConnectionSpec Supplied Credentials
- The Deployed Security Credentials.
Managed enterprise applications can be deployed with "container" or "application"
as a security choice. If "container" is specified, the J2EE application server will
provide the credentials by means of a user interface. If "application" is
specified, security is determined from the deployment properties and can be
overridden by the ConnectionSpec.
