Default connection security

A default user ID and password can be set for each TCP/IP and SNA server connection.

By default, if no security credentials are supplied, transactions are run using the default user ID for the CICS® server, if a default user ID is defined. For CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®, the default user ID is used only if the Usedfltuser parameter on the CICS server connection definition is set to Yes. If this parameter is set to No, security is enforced by the CICS server and a user ID and password must be supplied. In all cases, transactions execute in the server with the authorities assigned to the user ID authenticated.

Use the cicscli command to set default security for TCP/IP and SNA server connections. Default security cannot be set for IPIC connections.

The default user ID and password can be set using one of the following methods:

These default values are used when required on all subsequent transaction requests for that server, provided that no values have been passed on the ECI request itself, or have been set for the specific EPI terminal against which the transaction will run. The default user ID and password cannot be set from the Java APIs.

Note: If the Client daemon is running in an environment where it survives user logoff, for example, as a Windows service, the default user ID and password values entered by the current user are retained even when that user logs off, and are subsequently reused as required.
