Note: Before proceeding, please review Configuring IBM Session Manager on the mainframe.
The Connection Details dialog is opened automatically when you use the IBM Session Manager Connections page (Using the IBM Session Manager Connections page) to create or modify a single connection to IBM Session Manager.
Use the following input fields in the Connection Details dialog:
Note: For IBM Session Manager release 3.2.00 and higher, all Client login requests will be directed to the OLA node, so it is recommended that you specify the connection details for that node. These details must match the Eclipse details within the IBM Session Manager configuration. For details on the IBM Session Manager Eclipse configuration, please refer to the User and Administrator manual.
The name for this connection to be displayed by the Eclipse plug-ins. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you specify the name of the mainframe on which IBM Session Manager is running.
Use the drop-down list associated with this field to select the networking protocol to be used for communication between the Eclipse plug-ins and IBM Session Manager. The default value is http; select https (the secure protocol) if communication will be over the public Internet.
The name of the mainframe on which IBM Session Manager is running, and which you will be working with through the Eclipse plug-ins. Specify either the actual IP address of the mainframe (for example, 10.0.40.95) or a name (for example, ZOS19SX) that will be resolved into an IP address by the local DNS (Domain Name Service).
This value must match the value of the TCP/IP port on which IBM Session Manager on the mainframe 'listens' for requests from the Eclipse plug-ins.
