HULFT Manager service settings

With HULFT Manager, users can manage HULFT system for HULFT for Mainframe from Windows-based personal computers. Confirm that the Startup JCL for the Observe program (XRACCPT) is defined as follows:

Observe Definition File (DD Name: INDD)

Confirm that the Observe Definition file defines the following:

HULADMIN,XRWINPC,70000,70000

System Environment Settings File (DD Name: XRSYSIN)

Specify the local host name with which a remote host recognizes the local host.

HOST-NAME=Local Host Name

Registration of HULFT Manager Users

It is necessary to register HULFT Manager users in user-defined files or on RACF, depending on the value specified for the User ID/Password Check in the System Environment Settings. RACF is a function provided by IBM Security Server.

Registration of users allows you to grant permissions to each registered user, which ensures security. For details about the usage permissions of users, refer to Management Console Security settings.

User authentication with user-defined file (DD name: XRPASSWD)

When the User ID/Password Check in the System Environment Settings is specified as '0' (apply HULFT user check), define a user-defined file in the Startup JCL for the Observe program (XRACCPT). In the user-defined file, register the user ID and password of HULFT Manager users in the format shown below:

Format of user-defined file

   a        b 
xxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxx

Content of user-defined file

a. User ID: This parameter defines the user ID. Define a string within 8 bytes.
b. Password: This parameter defines the password. Define a string within 8 bytes.

Note

Even when application of HULFT user check is specified in the System Environment Settings, password check does not take place if 'DUMMY' is specified in the DD statement for the user-defined file.
You can specify user IDs for up to 1000 users in the user-defined file. When registering multiple users, specify one user per line.

Enhancement of User Authentication in Connection from HULFT Manager

When the User ID/Password Check in the System Environment Settings is specified as '1' (apply RACF user check), register the user ID and password of HULFT Manager users on RACF. Registration of user IDs and passwords in the user-defined file is not necessary.
