Identity propagation

CICS® Transaction Gateway can pass user security identity information (a distributed identity) from a JEE client in WebSphere® Application Server across the network to CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®. The security identity of the user is preserved for use during CICS authorization and for subsequent accountability and trace purposes.

Identity propagation provides a way of authorizing requests by associating security information in WebSphere Application Server with security information in CICS Transaction Server for z/OS.

CICS Transaction Gateway supports identity propagation for JEE client requests from WebSphere Application Server to CICS Transaction Server for z/OS. Identity propagation is supported when using a CICS Transaction Gateway ECI resource adapter and an IPIC connection to CICS.

Distributed identities can be tracked using the request monitoring exits, see Request monitoring exits for more information.
