Terminal Source Restriction

FTP logons specify a terminal ID when logging on a user. This terminal ID supplied is generated from the user's originating IP address. Terminal IDs often have no resemblance to standard LU names. Each node of the IP address is translated into a character representation of the hex value of the node.

Example: terminal source restriction

IP address 141.202.201.56 appears as terminal 8DCAC938. To administer source protection in CA Top Secret, enter:

TSS ADD(acid) SOURCE(8DCAC938)
