Specifying link security for LU6.1 connections

About this task

You specify link security on the CONNECTION or SESSIONS resource definitions. If you require more information about either of these resources, see CONNECTION resources and SESSIONS resources.

Procedure

  • To specify that all sessions of a connection should have the same link userid, specify the SECURITYNAME attribute of the CONNECTION resource definition. If you do not specify a value for this attribute, CICS® uses the default user ID.
  • To specify different link userids for individual groups of sessions within a connection, specify the USERID attribute of the SESSIONS resource definition. For each group of sessions, the value specified overrides the SECURITYNAME attribute of the CONNECTION definition.
