Question & Answer
Question
Why am I getting a 302 HTTP response or a blank screen when trying to test the operation of the z/OS Connect server that I just setup and started? I sent a query to host:port/zosConnect/services to get a list of the services available. Doing this in a web browser, it returns a blank screen. Using a restclient, like the Poster plugin for Firefox, I can see I am getting a 302 HTTP response back. There are no messages in the message.log file to indicate a problem.
Answer
By default, z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition (EE) requires requests to be sent using HTTPS requests, and for security credentials to be provided. You most likely have not done the legwork to set this up yet.
To override these security requirements add the following code to your server.xml file:
<!-- ZosConnectManager definition -->
<zosconnect_zosConnectManager requireSecure="false" requireAuth="false"/>
Save the file and try your test again.
See Overview of z/OS Connect EE security in the documentation for more information.
