Find the USERID in CICS Web Support Application

Hi,

I'm working on a design to have a new CICS transaction provide dynamic http responses to requests from web browser. I plan to use HTTP basic authentication in TCPIPService.

My question here is will the "EXEC CICS ASSIGN USERID(ws-id)" in my application program provide me the user ID that was obtained from the Web client during basic authentication?

Thanks,
Jobin

After the program issues the ASSIGN USERID API, what was the resolved value?

This is generally what you should test first, then post the question, if the value is not what you expect.

Thanks Bill!

I'm still researching on a concept of using CICS as HTTP server for our business requirement. I'm new to CWI and did not have the development region setup yet to test it. Thanks
