Steps for selecting ICSF as the authentication mechanism

Before you begin

ICSF requires the Cryptographic Coprocessor features of the zSeries processor to be enabled and active. You must have ICSF configured and running on your processor before selecting ICSF as your authentication mechanism.

You need to start the Administrative Console by specifying URL: http://server_hostname:9090/admin.

Perform the following steps to select ICSF as the authenication mechanism for this server.

Steps for this task

  1. Click Security > Authentication mechanisms > ICSF in the Navigation tree on the left.
  2. In the Encryption Cryptographic Key box, specify the label of the cryptographic key to use for single sign-on tokens for Web applications and administrative security when using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) HTTP connector.
  3. Enter a positive integer value in the Timeout field. Specifies the time period in which an ICSF token expires.
    Verify that this time period is longer than the cache time-out that is configured in the Global Security panel.
  4. Click Apply or OK.
    The ICSF configuration is now set.
