Resolution

TPXADMIN is an internal application built in TPX for TPX Administrators and for users to manage their own sessions and options. 

TPX does not need authentication for access, however, the TPX Administrator manages or controls the access of each user to the TPX internal applications, including TPXADMIN at the individual or profile level. Therefore, it is not applicable to use the PassTicket function. The same method applies to other TPX internal applications, such as TPXOPER, TPXNOTES, TPXMAIL, TPVVIEW, TPXWINDW and TPXDEMO.

Downstream applications such as TSO, CICS, IMS, SYSVIEW, etc. can be setup using PassTickets for access.

For detailed information on how to set up applications using PassTickets please refer to the PassTicket Feature in the TPX Programming Guide:
