Take the following steps to configure your Z and I Emulator for Web session to use Web Express Logon.

  1. Using the Host Sessions window, highlight your FTP session and select Properties under the Configure drop-down menu. On the left side of the window, select Express Logon under Connection.

  3. Select the User Identity Type:
    • local system ID: the user's local operating system ID. Web Express Logon currently supports Microsoft Active Directory (Windows Domain).
    • network ID: the user's network security application ID. Web Express Logon currently supports IBM Tivoli Access Manager and Netegrity Siteminder.
    • Portal ID: the user's Portal Server ID. Web Express Logon currently supports Portal Server, a component of IBM WebSphere Portal.
  4. Type the full URL of the credential mapper server, for example, https://server_name/junction/cm/CredMapper, where
    • server_name is the name of the authentication server
    • junction is the name of the junction (optional)
    • cm is the credential mapper servlet space
    • CredMapper is the servlet name
    Be sure that the servlet name matches the name in your XML file. For example, if you specify the servlet name in your host session as CredMapper, the code in your XML should look like the following:
    <servlet>
          <servlet-name>CredMapper</servlet-name>
          <display-name>CredMapper</display-name>    
    <servlet-class>com.ibm.eNetwork.security.sso.cms.CredMapper</servlet-class>
    The servlet that resides at this URL processes the HTTPS request from the user, performs a lookup, and returns the user's credentials. The Z and I Emulator for Web client uses the obtained credentials to automate the login process.
  5. Click OK.

Notice the Logon option in the left pane of the FTP Host Sessions window. On this window, be sure to leave the User ID and Password fields blank. If you enter a User ID and Password, Z and I Emulator for Web will ignore the settings on the Express Logon window.
