New features in IMS TM Resource Adapter Version 15

V15.1 adds the support for distributed network security credentials in IMS 15.

Support for IMS 15 distributed network security credentials

IMS TM Resource Adapter can pass the original, distributed user credentials to be audited in IMS log records with both inbound and outbound (callout) requests. This feature requires IMS 15 and IMS Connect 15, and the application server, WebSphere® Application Server or WebSphere Liberty, must be configured to enable the network security credentials.

An extendable Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login module is provided with IMS TM resource adapter to enable network security credentials to be passed from a Java EE application to IMS. You must install and link the JAAS module to your application before network security credentials can be passed to IMS and audited in IMS log records.

The activation specification is enhanced with the resumeTpipeNsc property to enable IMS TM resource adapter to support network security credentials in IMS synchronous callout messages. To enable IMS TM resource adapter to support network security credentials in asynchronous callout messages, the IMS interaction specification is enhanced with the setResumeTpipeNSC property.
