PH72016: SUPPORT FOR AUTOMATIC SESSION DISCONNECT ON SIGNON IN SINGLE SIGNON ENVIRONMENTS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• In a single signon IMS environments, when a terminal connection
  is lost,
  the existing IMS session can remain active as an orphan.
  Subsequent signon
  attempts by the same user are then rejected with DFS3649A
  RC=240. To
  recover, the user must either wait for the ALOT/ASOT timeout or
  have an
  operator manually issue /STO USER or /CLSDST NODE commands.
  
  
  This APAR enhances IMS ETO Support to provide a new option
  (FORCE SIGNOFF
  ON SIGNON) that, when enabled, automatically disconnects the
  existing
  session before signon so that the user can sign on without
  manual
  intervention or timeout delays. The automatic disconnection
  occurs only
  when the password or passphrase is verified as correct by RACF.
  
  
  Use case - Eliminate operator intervention and ASOT timeout
  delays for
  users blocked by orphan sessions in single signon environments
