You can configure secure autoinstalled IPIC connections using a template. Using a template allows you to change the default connection settings for IPIC autoinstalled connections. To implement an IPCONN template so that IPIC connections are autoinstalled with link security and user security, follow the step-by-step instructions in this scenario.
To configure secure autoinstalled IPIC connections, you must modify the CICS® TS sample user-replaceable module (URM) to point to an IPCONN template.
This scenario uses CICS TG connecting to CICS TS V3.2 over IPIC in remote mode. It uses the default name ctg.ini for the configuration file.
