Different security options are available on the connection
when CICS Transaction Gateway is used for connecting client applications
to CICS; the available options are platform and protocol dependent.
IPIC connection security
IPIC connections enforce link security to restrict
the resources that can be accessed over a connection to a CICS® server, bind security to prevent
an unauthorized client system from connecting to CICS, and user security to restrict the CICS resources that can be accessed
by a user. If the CICS server
supports password phrases, a password phrase can be used for user
security.
SNA connection security
SNA connections enforce link security to restrict the resources
that can be accessed over a connection to a CICS server, bind security
to prevent an unauthorized client system from connecting to CICS,
and user security to restrict the CICS resources that can be accessed
by a user.
TCP/IP connection security
TCP/IP connections to CICS servers can be secured with
bind security to prevent an unauthorized client system from connecting
to CICS and user security to restrict the CICS resources that can
be accessed by a user.
Default connection security
A default user ID and password can be set for each TCP/IP
and SNA server connection.
