SYMPTOMS
You create a logon script and a logoff script by using the Host Access Management Agent Configuration Tool (Hostconfig.exe) for Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) 2003. However, you cannot configure the logon script and the logoff script to send a 3270 TAB keystroke to the IBM Resource Access Control Facility (RACF). The logon script and the logoff script may be unable to move from one 3270 input field to another 3270 input field without the use of the 3270 TAB keystroke. Therefore, the logon sequence and the logoff sequence fail.



CAUSE
The Host Access Management Agent Configuration Tool does not include support for the 3270 TAB keystroke. Therefore, the 3270 TAB keystroke is not listed as an option when you configure the logon script and the logoff script.
