Configuring the IPCONN on CICS TS

You must define the IPCONN for the incoming IPIC connection. This example implements both link security and user security.

  1. Use CEDA to define an IPCONN. These values are important:
    APplid
    Set this value to match the APPLID specified in the ctg.ini file.
    Networkid
    Set this value to match the APPLIDQUALIFIER specified in the ctg.ini file.
    TCPIPService
    Set this value to match the name of the TCPIPService defined earlier.
    Receivecount
    Set this value to specify the number of parallel IPCONN sessions.
    SENdcount
    Set this value to zero because IPIC connections are always inbound to CICS® TS from CICS TG.
    Inservice
    Set this value to Yes.
    Linkauth
    Set this value to Secuser.
    SECurityname
    Set this value to an authorized RACF® user ID. The user ID must be in a RACF group that is authorized to establish IPIC connections.
    Userauth
    Set this value to Verify.

    Leave all the other values to default.

    This panel is an example of an IPCONN definition defined using the CEDA transaction:
    CEDA  View Ipconn( IPC50889 )
           Ipconn         : IPC50889
           Group          : HOLLIPIC
           Description    :
          IPIC CONNECTION IDENTIFIERS
           APplid         : MYAPPL
           Networkid      : MYQUAL
           Host           :
           (Lower Case)   :
           Port           : No       No | 1-65535
           Tcpipservice   : SRV50889
          IPIC CONNECTION PROPERTIES
           Receivecount   : 100      1-999
           SENdcount      : 000      0-999
           Queuelimit     : No       No | 0-9999
           Maxqtime       : No       No | 0-9999
          OPERATIONAL PROPERTIES
           AUtoconnect    : No       No | Yes
           Inservice      : Yes      Yes | No
          SECURITY
          SSl            : No        No | Yes
           CErtificate    :                         (Mixed Case)
           CIphers        :
           Linkauth       : Secuser  Secuser | Certuser
           SECurityname   : LINKUSER
           Userauth       : Verify   Local | Identify | Verify | Defaultuser
          RECOVERY
           Xlnaction      : Keep     Keep | Force
  2. Install the IPCONN definition and check that the output from the CEMT INQ IPCONN(IPC50889) command identifies it as INService RELeased.
    CEMT I IPCONN
           STATUS:  RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
            Ipc(IPC50889) App(MYAPPL  ) Net(MYQUAL  ) Ins Rel Nos
               Rece(100) Sen(000) Tcp(SRV50889)
