On Windows platforms CICS Transaction Gateway can be configured
to display security pop-up windows for TCP/IP and SNA connections.
Security pop-up windows are displayed to prompt for connection
security credentials if the following conditions are true.
- The Windows system is not a Remote Desktop Server.
- The Enable pop-up windows field
in the Configuration Tool is
selected; see Enable pop-up windows.
- The IBM CICS Transaction Gateway service is enabled to interact
with the desktop.
- The server requires that a user ID and password are flowed in
transaction attach requests.
- No valid default security settings are defined.
- The transaction being invoked is CCIN (client installation) or
CTIN (terminal installation).
- A user ID and password have not been supplied on a terminal installation
request.
Values entered via a security pop-up window, once verified, are
used to set the default user ID and password values for that server
connection.
Security pop-up windows are not displayed directly by ECI or EPI
transaction requests, although they can be prompted by these requests,
if the request causes a server connection to be established, or a
terminal to be installed.
