 cics internet web interface question
Good day, We are in the process of changing the CICS internet login protocol from basic to form based authentication. This requires placing a token inside the HTML referencing the item '&QUERY_STRING' as defined on page 80 of the CICS Internet Guide. Nothing is mentioned concerning the format of this. In searching the internet, I found only one COBOL program that even comes close to referencing this item. I believe all I need to do is place the appropriate information within the pre-existing program calls that lying within the HTML that is already set up. This passes the form based authentication string to the form based authentication process (modified versions of DFH$WBSA, DFH$WBSC, DFH$WBSN) and bypasses the user id/password screen. My question is, what does the exact string look like? Please advise. Thank you.

Answer Wiki:
I'm not sure is this is exactly what your asking. We have a couple of apps that use the web interface. We put in a URL like this - http://mvsd.nt.gov.au:3012/cics/ZZW1/CICCW000 and we get the signon screen which has changed the URL to - http://mvsd.nt.gov.au:3012/cics/ZZW1/CICCW000?amobmwma The amobmwma then needs to be passed each time. This string is a unique string for each user/session.
