Introduction
|
|
|
While embodying all capabilities expected of a best-of-breed 3270 Session Manager, InterSession v7.1 represents
a quantum leap for the niche as the first product of its kind to deliver direct web connectivity. The addition
of the Web Gateway feature establishes InterSession as the new paradigm of service and value in its category,
empowering its customers to move ever closer to true 3270 connectivity consolidation on zSeries. This feature
dramatically reduces, and in some cases eliminates, the requirement for 3270 client software and/or middleware
implementations; producing potentially large savings in software licensing fees while offering more secure and
easy to deploy 3270 services.

Easy and Secure Application Access
|
|
|
InterSession gives all users secure, fast and convenient access to their
applications. After logging on the user is presented with a menu of
authorized applications. The user can select an application by entering
its name or place the cursor on it and press enter or by pressing a
predefined "Hot-key".
|
|
Single Sign-On
|
|
|
InterSession also gives the users Single Sign-On access to all authorized
VTAM applications. Applications can be set up for seamless user access
without userid/password prompts. When supported InterSession can use pass
tickets instead of passwords to enhance security. InterSession also works
well together with all external Single Sign-On products.

|
Built-in TN3270 Server
|
|
|
InterSession handles TN3270 sessions with its built-in tn3270
server without using the tcpip stack's tn3270 support. This
saves cpu cycles makes the configuration easier to manage.
|
|
Web Gateway
|
|
|
A built-in web server makes it possible to access your 3270 applications using a web browser,
without any extra software installed in the workstation. The Web Gateway runs completely within
the mainframe and there is no middleware involved. It is designed to be compatible with all
leading modern browsers and uses cutting edge technology, such as Ajax and XHTML, when available.
|
|
Supported Environments
|
|
|
InterSession supports all current IBM mainframe operating systems (OS/390, VSE and VM),
and all VTAM application host systems (i.e. CICS, TSO, IMS...). The TN3270 support supports
all current IBM TCP/IP stacks, TCPaccess from CA (formerly Interlink Computer Sciences) and
TCPIP for VSE from Connectivity Systems.

|
Migration Tools |
|
|
InterSession comes with migration tools to help you migrate from an
old session manager, such as Net/Master. The migration tools can help
you create an environment similar to what your end-users are used to.
