Cooperative flows that target a secure server environment may require that the flow include security data such as user id and password. The target server environment uses this security data to restrict access to only those users it deems authorized.
The Client Manager Server Configuration dialog is used to set these security parameters specific to a particular server connection. The derived security level, mentioned in the following table, is used to determine if and from where the user id and password are obtained. Derived security has been discussed in sections presented earlier within this chapter.
The following table summarizes the Server Security Parameters found on the Server Configuration dialog. This dialog is accessed from the Client Manager main menu by selecting Server, Config.
|
Server Security Parameters |
Usage |
|---|---|
|
Defer radio button |
If selected, the derived security level is determined by the Client Manager's default security level. Refer to the section titled Derived Security Level Details. |
|
Remote radio button |
If selected, the Client Manager adds security data into the header area of the CFB request transmitted to the target server environment. To determine from where the User Id and Password are obtained, refer to the section titled Derived Security Level Details. The derived security level is Remote. |
|
None radio button |
If selected, the Client Manager does not add security data into the header area of the CFB request transmitted to the target server environment. The Client Manager Default Security parameters are ignored. The derived security level is None. |
|
User ID text field |
Identifies the user ID that is to be passed to the target server environment if the derived security level is Defer or Remote. |
|
Password text field |
Identifies the password to be passed to the target server environment if the derived security level is Defer or Remote. |
Note: The server security level parameter for individual server definitions is saved in the Client Manager server configuration file (IEFCMN.SRV by default). The security level is stored in this file as a number: Defer=0, Remote=2, and None=3.
Important! If you want to save the user ID and password to the server configuration file (.SRV), you must select the Save User ID and Password checkbox on the Client Manager File-Save Configuration dialog. The saved password is encrypted. The ability to allow the Client Manager to save the user ID and password may be disabled during the customization process, which is performed once during the first start of the Client Manager after installation.
