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:

  1. You must login using the ISM Login dialog even if SIGNON NO is specified on the SYSTEM statement.
  2. 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.
  3. If you login to IBM Session Manager through the IBM Session Manager 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 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 wish to proceed with the login.
