If your site uses IBM Z Multi-Factor Authentication for z/OS (IBM Z MFA), you can log on to BMC AMI Command Center by using the multi-factor authentication (MFA) method established for your site.
If you use a client certificate to log on, the certificate's Common Name (CN) must be your user ID.
Before you begin

- The required Common Interface Server (CIS) is running.
- You have an account with:
- Authorization to access the host where the CIS is installed
- Suitable Db2 authorization for your requirements

You know whether your CIS uses HTTP or HTTPS. The CIS default is HTTP. To use HTTPS, you must configure the CIS accordingly. For more information, see Configuring Common Interface Server options.
- You know the host name of the CIS , and the port number on which the CIS is listening.
- The BMC Execution Component for z/OS (DBC) started task is running and the BMC Configuration Component for z/OS (LGC) agent is active.
