Opening and using the ISM Login dialog
To open the ISM Login dialog
The ISM Login dialog is opened automatically when
you select a particular connection to IBM Session Manager in Nodes view and you have not yet logged in to
that connection.
Notes:
- You must login using the ISM Login dialog even if
SIGNON NO is specified on the SYSTEM
statement.
- If your authority is lower than the level specified
for the ISZECLP command then you will
not be able to login and you will receive message ISZ4297E.
- If you login to IBM Session Manager through the IBM Session Manager Plug-in then you will automatically be set as a Shared
user, therefore allowing you to be logged in at the same time to the
IBM Session Manager Plug-in and (directly) to IBM Session Manager.
To specify the login details for the connection
Use these input fields in the ISM Login dialog:
User Id
- Is the IBM Session Manager userid.
Password
- Is the password for the userid specified above.
If IBM Session Manager has been configured to use Passphrases then the
user's Passphrase can be entered.
Save settings
- Select this checkbox to save your user details for
future reuse.
- CAUTION: Saved passwords are stored on your computer in a
file that is difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read.
To proceed with the login
Left-click the OK
button to confirm that you wish to proceed with the login.
- If the user details are unauthorized then a message
will be issued to that effect and the ISM Login dialog will remain open.
- If the user details are authorized then the ISM
Login dialog will close, and back in Nodes view:
- The 'connection' icon immediately to the left of
the particular connection to IBM Session Manager will change to its 'logged-in' form.
- The name of the Sysplex Group or node will appear
immediately to the right of the 'connection' icon, followed by the connection
name in parentheses.
- For a Sysplex Group, a '+'
(plus) sign will appear immediately to the left of the 'connection' icon.
To expand the connection, and view its nodes, left-click the '+'
sign.
- Note: A special icon containing a diagonal red line is
used to denote a node that is either not active or unknown.
