Enabling the validation of TEP user IDs and passwords in Hub TEMS

If your z/OS TEMS is the SOAP Server and you want to secure the TEMS , set the parameter KDS_TEMS_SECURITY_KDS_VALIDATE value to Y to enable the authentication of Tivoli Enterprise Portal user IDs and passwords.

About this task

The parameter KDS_TEMS_SECURITY_KDS_VALIDATE determines whether the hub monitoring server validates the user IDs and passwords of users signing on to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
Note: The PARMGEN PTF UA91952 (2Q17) changed the default value of this parameter from N to Y, which means the validation is enabled by default for the RTEs that are created after you apply this PTF. However, for the RTEs that were created before you apply this PTF, the following steps are required if you need the TEMS security requirement.

Procedure

  1. In the RTE's LPAR-specific configuration profile, set the value of the parameter KDS_TEMS_SECURITY_KDS_VALIDATE to Y.
  2. Resubmit the WCONFIG($PARSEPR) job to refresh the KDSENV member in the PARMGEN WKANPARU staging dataset.
  3. Resubmit the WKANSAMU(KCIJPW2R) job to refresh the KDSENV member from the WKANPARU staging dataset to the product execution RKANPARU user dataset that is read by the z/OS TEMS started task.
  4. Recycle the z/OS TEMS started task when it's ready to deploy the change.

Results

The validation of users is enabled to access to z/OS TEMS.
