How to Configure PassTicket for CA Insight Database Performance Monitor

As an application administrator, you want to configure PassTicket to provide seamless and secured access by CA Cross-Enterprise Application Performance Management (CA Cross-Enterprise APM) to CA Insight™ Database Performance Monitor for DB2 for z/OS (CA Insight DPM) data. The data enables an application support specialist, using CA Introscope®, to see the DB2 issues that affect an application.

CA Cross-Enterprise APM operates in a networked environment. PassTicket provides an enhanced security across a network. The networked entities can communicate without specific passwords or password phrases.

Use this scenario to guide you through the process:

1. Review requirements.
2. (z/OS security administrator) Configure PassTicket in the external security manager (ESM).
3. (CA Insight DPM administrator) Enable PassTicket support in Xnet.
4. Enable PassTicket support in CA Cross-Enterprise APM.

At the end of the process, the user ID of the CA Cross-Enterprise APM WILYZOS job has the authority to generate PassTicket. CA Cross-Enterprise APM can access CA Insight DPM using PassTicket.
