Enabling security for OMEGAMON XE and OMEGAMON for CICS

The security options you decide to employ can determine tasks you must complete in advance, such as arrangements you must make with security administrators or accounts you must set up. Your security decisions can also dictate certain choices during configuration, such as the selection of secure protocols when configuring communication between components.

Tivoli® Management Services and the OMEGAMON® XE monitoring agents offer several security options:
  • Secure communication between components
  • Authorization and authentication of Tivoli Enterprise Portal users (including single sign on capability)
  • Authentication of OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface, OMEGAMON for CICS® (3270) user interface
  • Authentication of SOAP server users
  • Authentication of IBM® Tivoli Monitoring Service Console users
  • Authorization of z/OS® Take Action commands by NetView®

For information about enabling security, see "Decision 9: Which security options to enable" which is in the Planning section of OMEGAMON shared documentation Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2.
