Identify Mode

The plug-in can run in identify mode.

The characteristics of identify mode are as follows:
  • The CICS region is started with SEC=YES, XTRAN=YES, and XPCT=YES in the SIT.
  • In the plug-in activities, the user ID is required while the password is optional.
  • The user ID and password are encrypted.
  • The user ID is used in the CICS region while the password is not used.
  • The security exit in Sockets Setup is SXNSECID. TIBCO COBOL Security routine SXNSECID provided by TIBCO runs in identify mode.
  • IBM Listener calls SXNSECID with the user ID and password. SXNSECID sets the SXNE transaction to run under the user ID for the plug-in.
  • All SXNE transactions run with the user ID and security of the user ID for the plug-in.
  • The value of the Userid element for the plug-in must be a SURROGATE of the user ID that CSKL is running under. The CSKL transaction must be allowed to start the transaction SXNE or SXNT with the user ID for the plug-in.
