Configuring the Host On Demand Telnet client
To setup and configure the Host On Demand client, follow these steps:
- For each application to which the user will log on, create a macro to record the logon screen of
the application.
The user plays this macro when displaying the logon screen on the client.
- Enter the application ID in the application ID popup window.
The application ID must be the same name specified on the z/OS® for the application ID portion of the PTKTDATA profile. The ID in the profile in most cases must be the same as the application name.
- Use the Host On Demand key-management utility to:
- Create a key database (key ring).
- Create a certificate request or generate a self-signed certificate and associate the certificate with the key ring.
- Use FTP to transmit the middle-tier Telnet certificate to the client workstation and store the server certificate in the key database of the client.
- Use FTP to transmit the Host On Demand Telnet client certificate to the middle-tier server and store in the SSL key database of the server.
- Use FTP to transmit the client certificate to an MVS™ data set on the z/OS host. Use the RACF® Certificate Services RACDCERT command to associate the certificate with a valid user ID.
