Server Access Security Using User ID and Password › Client Manager Security Responsibilities

Client Manager Security Responsibilities

The Client Manager is responsible for providing security data to support target server requirements. The Client Manager processes security data (user id and password) to satisfy the following two requirements, if the target server has a derived security level of Remote:

• To add security data to the CFB header. The security data in the CFB header is not directly accessible to the logic of a DPS application. However, this security data, in most DPS execution environments, is used to establish the user context under which the DPS will execute. For example, the supplied user id and password may be used to sign on the user. The signed-on user establishes the context under which the transaction will execute.
• To provide security data (user id and password) for those transports that are capable of using it as part of their protocol. Currently, the LU 6.2 protocol uses user id and password security data as part of the underlying conversation allocate (FMH-5).
