Establishing Signon Processing

This chapter includes the following topics:

Defining signon requirements by establishing the objective of the environment
Explanation of the types of signon transactions, including transaction selection criteria, definition in CA Ideal, and identification to CICS
Setting up transactions (usually used in a production environment) that automatically run a CA Ideal application
Establishing an optional signon exit
How signon processing actually works, specifically with and without an external security package
The CA IPC and CA Ideal options that control customization of signon processing
Development and production considerations that can impact user definition and signon processing setup
Step-by-step instructions for enabling an environment to interface with external security

CA Ideal uses the CA Standard Security Facility (CAISSF) to interface with external security products such as CA Top Secret, CA ACF2, RACF, and other SAF-compatible products. This lets you use any of these security products, in both online and batch environments, to interface TP monitor signon with CA Ideal signon.
