Authorize CICS DA users
CICS® DA
function, users can issue requests to the server to run specific commands.
You can choose to either authorize the CICS DA
server or you can use a client ID, a CICS DA
user, with the relevant authority to invoke the CICS DA function, such as discovery.
If you choose to run the CICS DA function by using the authority of a CICS DA user, client ID, the CICS DA server does not require the same level of authority.
If you choose to authorize the CICS DA server, when the server requests information from a CICSPlex® SM target server, it must do so securely. To secure the requests, you can configure CICS DA to use passwords, or the more secure method of using PassTickets.
Depending on what you decide, you can find the authorization details in the following topics.
