Configuring IBM Session Manager on the mainframe

To use the IBM Session Manager Plug-in, configure IBM Session Manager on the mainframe with Eclipse support:

  1. Ensure that TCP=Yes is specified on the SYSTEM statement.
  2. Add ECLIPSESERVER port_no as a subparameter of the TCP parameter on the SYSTEM statement, where port_no must not have been specified by any other applications, including other IBM Session Manager systems.
  3. A LOCALNODE value must also be specified on the SYSTEM statement. LOCALNODE has no value by default.
  4. A USER statement must exist for each user of the IBM Session Manager Plug-in.
  5. A special command, ISZECLP, is supplied which has an authority level of 9. When a user attempts to login through the IBM Session Manager Plug-in, the user's authority is compared to the authority level of the ISZECLP command and, if equal to or higher, then the user is allowed to login (assuming any subsequent security checks are passed). The authority level on the ISZECLP command may need to be changed depending on your site's requirements. If the user's authority is lower than the level specified for the ISZECLP command then the user will receive message ISZ4297E.

Common end-user parameters

Two 'timeout' parameters, ERTIMEOUT and EUTIMEOUT, are associated with use of the IBM Session Manager Plug-in. These parameters are detailed in 'Common end-user parameters' in the Technical Reference.
