Identity propagation provides end-to-end security and consistent
accountability, when applications in WebSphere® Application Server are connected
to CICS®.
Identity propagation provides the following benefits:
- An end-to-end solution for security when connecting WebSphere Application Server to CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®.
- A unified mechanism for authentication using security information
stored in different formats on different user registries such as IBM® Tivoli® Directory
Server or WebSphere Portal.
For more information, see the documentation for
WebSphere Application
Server.
- "Single sign-on" authentication of users in WebSphere Application Server before they
are authorized in CICS Transaction
Server for z/OS.
- Consistent accountability.
