Establishing Signon Processing › Defining Signon Requirements › CA Ideal Environment Functionality

CA Ideal Environment Functionality

First you must consider the functionality of the environment for which you are setting up signon procedures. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Is this a development environment, a QA environment, an end-user production environment?
• What is the nature of the users?
• Is there a need to identify each user uniquely in the CICS and CA Ideal environment as is usually desirable in a development environment?
• Is there a group of individuals that share information for read-only purposes in a single company or department?
• Do I want to be able to uniquely track each of those users as individuals or as a group?
• Is this a public access system where it does not matter who gets into a group of read‑only applications?
• Does your signon needs depend on the nature of the environment and the applications that runs?

Following are some areas to consider. There might be other areas that you need to examine when devising signon procedures.
