Automated Sign-On

Automated Sign-On enables an end user to automatically log on to a host application using a Micro Focus terminal emulation client. A separate license and additional configuration is required.

Settings must be configured in different locations:

  • Management and Security Server (MSS) — to enable the service, secure the server connections, and manage user access
  • the terminal emulation client — to create the login macro and configure the client
  • the host — to support the use of one-time passwords

To enable and configure Automated Sign-On

  1. Check the box to enable the Automated Sign-On settings for your host type.

    If the checkbox is disabled, the activation file needs to be installed. See Install an Activation File for an Additional Product.

    Enable Automated Sign-On for Mainframe (for z/OS systems)

    Enable MSS Automated Sign-On for Host Access

    Note

    • An LDAP directory is required for user authorization.

  2. Enter the required settings in the MSS Administrative Console.

  3. Be sure to Configure the client and host settings.

    • the terminal emulation client — to create the login macro and configure the client
    • the host — to support the use of one-time passwords

Note

This page describes the initial settings needed in the MSS Administrative Console. For a more comprehensive view of the required settings, see the reference for your host type.
