IMS Connect security exit routine

If any IMS Connect user message exit routine performs security checking, you must provide a security exit routine or use the z/OS® TCP/IP IMS Listener security exit routine (IMSLSECX).

IMS does not provide a sample security exit routine due to the many options available for security and the fact that most installations have their own specific security method. The call to RACF® is performed by IMS Connect if RACF parameters are provided in the OTMA header when the message exit routine returns the message.

The name of the security exit routine called by HWSSMPL0, HWSSMPL1, HWSSOAP1, or HWSCSLO0 is IMSLSECX.

If you use HWSSMPL0 or HWSSMPL1, you can change the name of the security exit routine that they call by changing EXTRN IMSLSECX to a name of your choice. If you change the name of the security exit routine, you must define the security exit routine in the HWSSMPL0 or HWSSMPL1 user message exit.

You can also provide the name of the security exit routine called by HWSJAVA0 and define it in the HWSJAVA0 message exit routine.
