ALLOWAPPL

Telnet will not initiate a session for a solicited application name unless the name is allowed. The ALLOWAPPL statement is used to configure Telnet to allow the initiation request. For example, CICS01 and CICS02 are allowable names.

The ALLOWAPPL name can have a wildcard value by using an asterisk (*). For example, if there are no other CICS® regions, these lines can be reduced to the following line:

All application names can be allowed by coding the following line:

Default application names do not need to be explicitly allowed. However, if the default application issues a CLSDST-PASS to another application name for the session, the second application must be in the ALLOWAPPL list. For example, TSO is the default application for the NULL Client Identifier. TSO typically passes the session to TSO00001, TSO00002, and so on. The following default application mapping will initiate a session with TSO, but when TSO issues a CLSDST-PASS the new bind to Telnet will have TSO00001 as the application name.

Telnet will fail this session request because TSO00001 is not allowed. Add an ALLOWAPPL statement to allow the TSO* names as follows:
