A pass ticket is a one-time only password substitute that is automatically generated by an authentication server, such as IBM's Network Security Program or CA's Single Signon Option, on behalf of a client workstation requesting access to a mainframe application like CA TPX. After a user is signed on, pass tickets can also be generated for applications subsequently accessed through this product. The use of pass tickets requires you to complete administrative maintenance.
The pass ticket eliminates the need for users to manually type their password on the TPX logon screen and eliminates the transmittal of the same password in clear text across networks. The feature also provides application security, because a pass ticket is a one-time only password.
Pass tickets are supported by CA ACF2, CA Top Secret, and RACF.
