FIX: You cannot configure the logon script and the logoff script to send a 3270 TAB keystroke when you create the logon script and the logoff script by using the Host Access Management Agent Configuration Tool (Hostconfig.exe) for MIIS 2003 (912148)

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.
