Opening and using the ISM Login dialog
To open the ISM Login dialog
The ISM Login dialog is opened automatically when you select a particular connection to IBM Session Manager in Nodes view and you have not yet logged in to that connection.
Notes:
- You must login using the ISM Login dialog even if SIGNON NO is specified on the SYSTEM statement.
- If your authority is lower than the level specified for the ISZECLP command then you will not be able to login and you will receive message ISZ4297E. In addition, you must have sufficient authority to issue the QUERY command; if not, message ISZ4297E will appear in the Login dialog.
- For IBM Session Manager release 3.2.00 and higher, all Client login requests are directed to the OLA node.
- If you login to IBM Session Manager through the IBM Session Manager Operations Plug-in then you will automatically be set as a Shared user, therefore allowing you to be logged in at the same time to the IBM Session Manager Operations Plug-in and (directly) to IBM Session Manager.
To specify the login details for the connection
Use these input fields in the ISM Login dialog:
User Id
Is the IBM Session Manager userid.
Password
Is the password for the userid specified above. If IBM Session Manager has been configured to use Passphrases then the user's Passphrase can be entered.
Save settings
Select this checkbox to save your user details for future reuse.
CAUTION: Saved passwords are stored on your computer in a file that is difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read.
To proceed with the login
Left-click the OK button to confirm that you want to proceed with the login.
- If the user details are unauthorized then a message will be issued to that effect and the ISM Login dialog will remain open.
- If the user details are authorized then the ISM Login dialog will close, and back in Nodes view:
- The 'connection' icon immediately to the left of the particular connection to IBM Session Manager will change to its 'logged-in' form.
- The name of the Sysplex Group or node will appear immediately to the right of the 'connection' icon, followed by the connection name in parentheses.
- For a Sysplex Group, a '+' (plus) sign will appear immediately to the left of the 'connection' icon. To expand the connection, and view its nodes, left-click the '+' sign.
Note: A special icon containing a diagonal red line is used to denote a node that is either not active or unknown.
