Configuring JWT on CICS TG

You must edit the ctg.ini file to set values for the JWTTOKENPROVIDER and IPICSERVER parameters.

  1. Define a JWTTOKENPROVIDER

    Example:

    
    SECTION JWTTOKENPROVIDER = TOKENPROVIDERA
        DESCRIPTION = Test
        ALGORITHM = HS256
        SECRETKEY = secret
        USERIDENTIFIER = sub
    ENDSECTION
    

    For more information about Configuring JWT security token providers refer JWT provider section

  2. Define an IPICSERVER definition for your CICS Server:
    1. Set HOSTNAME to the TCP/IP host name or TCP/IP address on which CICS is listening.
    2. Set PORT to the port number that your CICS Server uses to listen for incoming IPIC requests; for example:
    SECTION IPICSERVER = CICSS
    		HOSTNAME=cicssrv2.company.com
    		PORT=50889
    		TOKENPROVIDERS=TOKENPROVIDERA
    ENDSECTION
    
  3. Save your updated ctg.ini file.
  4. Start CICS TG to apply the new definitions.
