Configuring BlueZone for express logon

  1. Launch an existing BlueZone Mainframe Display session that connects to the desired host.
  2. From the BlueZone menu bar, click Session → Configure.
  3. Click Properties.
  4. Click the Security tab.
  5. Select the desired Security type from the drop-down list.
  6. Click the Certificate tab.
    The certificate can be either in a disk file or in the system certificate store. If the client certificate was generated on the Mainframe, transfer it to your machine via FTP or IND$FILE.
  7. Select the certificate by file name (disk) or common name (certificate store). Fill in the rest of the required information required by your certificate selection.
    Certificates generated by the Mainframe are usually in PKCS12 format, which does not require a private key file, since the certificate and private key reside together in one file. A PKCS12 file can be put into the certificate store using Internet Explorer. Refer to Importing certificates for more information.
  8. Click OK twice.
  9. Save your changes.
