In a production environment, a transparent signon is one that signs a user on to CA Ideal automatically from CICS and invokes a CA Ideal application through the execution of a common member identified in the SC00TRAN. This setup establishes an environment where the end user can enter an application with no knowledge of CA Ideal.
Additionally, with this method, an end user can be transferred into a CA Ideal application from another CA Ideal application, from CICS, or from a program in CICS. For example, from a menu driven by a native application, the user can select an entry that automatically initiates CA Ideal and an application.
External security packages can provide additional functionality to the signon process; for example, limiting the transactions a user can access, what time of day the transactions can execute, and many others.
The CA Ideal express and transparent signon facilities also allow sites with special processing or security needs additional control during the signon process. For example, you could use the signon exit to override the signon member that gets executed based on a criterion such as the term ID. A signon exit program provides this control.
