Opening and using the Connection Details dialog
Note: Before proceeding,
please review Configuring IBM Session
Manager on the mainframe.
To open the Connection Details dialog
The Connection Details dialog is opened automatically
when you use the IBM Session Manager Connections page (Using the IBM Session
Manager Connections page) to create or modify a single
connection to IBM Session Manager.
To specify the connection details
Use these input fields in the Connection Details
dialog:
Connection name
- The name for this connection to be displayed by
the IBM Session Manager Plug-in. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you
specify the name of the mainframe on which IBM Session Manager is running.
Protocol
- Use the drop-down list associated with this field
to select the networking protocol to be used for communication between
the IBM Session Manager Plug-in and IBM Session Manager. The default value is http;
select https (the secure protocol)
if communication will be over the public Internet.
Host name
- The name of the mainframe on which IBM Session Manager is running, and which you will be working with
through the IBM Session Manager Plug-in. Specify either the actual IP address of the mainframe
(for example, 10.0.40.95) or
a name (for example, ZOS19SX)
that will be resolved into an IP address by the local DNS (Domain Name
Service).
Port
- This value must match the value of the TCP/IP port
on which IBM Session Manager on the mainframe 'listens' for requests from the
IBM Session Manager Plug-in.
