The PEM client sign-on transaction program:
- Obtains sign-on information, for example by:
- Displaying a message to the user requesting sign-on information; that
is, userid, password, and, if required, new password; or
- Accessing sign on information from a user who has already been authenticated
locally.
- Sends the sign-on information to the CICS PEM server via an APPC conversation.
- Receives replies from the CICS PEM server on the same APPC conversation.
- If PV is being used (either ATTACHSEC=PERSISTENT or ATTACHSEC=MIXIDPE
is specified on the CONNECTION definition), and sign-on is successful, adds
the user's name to the PV signed-on-to list.
- Processes the reply information from the CICS PEM server; for example,
by:
- Displaying the information to the user
- Processing the data and saving it in a file to which only the user has
access.
