DTS Security

Security exists at several levels in the DTS architecture:

Data Transport Manager (DTS Manager)

You can activate security for each of the DTS manager components (TOS, NOS, and SOS) and for the DTS agent.

When you activate security (the security mode parameter for the computer is set to "fail"), agents connecting to a server or agent must supply a valid user and password of an existing user that is registered on the computer you are connecting to.

Data Transport Agent (DTS Agent)

When you activate security for an agent, any data transfers involving the agent must contain valid user and password combinations for the initiator and the responder computers.

Data

Encryption provides data security. The data is encrypted before transmission and unencrypted when it reaches its destination. You can use either parcel or file encryption filters.
