PTKTDATA Profile Records

CA ACF2 for VM PTKTDATA Profile records provide support for the Secured Signon function of the IBM Network Security Program. The Secured Signon feature lets network users sign on to a VM host using a dynamically generated password substitute called a PassTicket. A cryptographic algorithm that uses user ID and profile information, a secret key, and a time value to generate PassTickets. They have a short lifespan and are resistant to password interception and replay attacks. You can generate PassTickets for access to VM, OS/390, TSO, CICS, IMS, or APPC/MVS.
