Logging on to a host

To log on, double-click on the host entry. If working with a domain group, double click on the domain group. When you open a domain group in the TKE main window, you must log on to all hosts that are to be accessed within that group.

The Logon panel is displayed for the host logon.

Enter your RACF-defined TSO/E host user ID and password. This is the user ID of the TKE administrator.

If z/OS® V1R7 or higher is installed, mixed case passwords are supported by RACF®. If the Enable Mixed Case Passwords check box is enabled on the Log on to Host panel, passwords are used as entered and are not automatically folded to upper case. You must enter your password as it was defined in the RACF database. If your system does not support mixed case passwords and you check the Enable Mixed Case Passwords check box, you must enter your password in upper case or you will get "The password is incorrect" error.

Note: If your TSO/E password has expired, the message The password has expired. Change password from TSO is displayed. Change your password and perform the logon again.
