Dynamic Workload Console considerations
Dynamic Workload Console V9.5 or later uses WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base to handle the initial user verification. In all cases, however, it is necessary to obtain a valid corresponding RACF® user ID to be able to work with the security environment in z/OS®.
Note: You cannot control the
port from which the Dynamic Workload Console server
started task replies to a request from the Z connector. The response ports are randomly
selected.
To optimize the thread handling between Z connector and the scheduler
server, you can group console users by RACF® user ID. To
define this grouping, associate a list of console users to the same RACF® user ID, by editing the
TWSZOSConnConfig.properties
file located
in:DWC_DATA_DIR\usr\servers\dwcServer\resources\propertiesWhere
DWC_DATA_DIR is, by default, %Program
Files%\wa\DWC\ on Windows, and /opt/wa/DWC on UNIX. In TWSZOSConnConfig.properties set the last two properties as follows:
com.ibm.tws.zconn.usr.mapping.enable=true
com.ibm.tws.zconn.usr.mapping.file=mapping_file_path\mapping_filewhere
mapping_file is the name of the file that contains the mapping between
console user and RACF® user ID, as in the following example:
engine=zos1919 user=twsuser1,twsuser2 zosuser=zos1919user1
user=twsuser3,twsuser4 zosuser=zos1919user2
