Configuring the IPCONN template on CICS TS

You must define the IPCONN template that each incoming IPIC connection uses. This example implements both link security and user security.

  1. Use CEDA to define an IPCONN. The name of the IPCONN must match the name of the template specified in the IPCONN autoinstall user program; for example, SECTEMPL. These values are important:
    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.

    The APPLID field is relevant only for predefined IPCONN connections. The APPLID field is ignored for autoinstalled IPCONN connections. CICS populates this field with the name of the IPCONN by default.

    This panel is an example of an IPCONN template defined using the CEDA transaction:
    CEDA  View Ipconn( SECTEMPL )
     Ipconn         : SECTEMPL
     Group          : HOLLIPIC
     Description    :
    IPIC CONNECTION IDENTIFIERS
     APplid         : SECTEMPL

     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(SECTEMPL) command identifies it as INService RELeased.
    CEMT I IPCONN
     STATUS:  RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
      Ipc(SECTEMPL) App(SECTEMPL) Net(GBIBMIYA) Ins Rel Nos
         Rece(100) Sen(000) Tcp(SRV50889)
