CA XCOM Data Transport interfaces with Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) or the native security facility on all supported systems that are based on user preference. When security is invoked, you are required to provide a valid user ID and password for the remote system. For example, in the z/OS environment, an interface is also provided to IBM RACF, CA ACF2, and CA Top Secret. Unlike most other communication facilities, CA XCOM Data Transport encrypts passwords. Encrypting passwords ensures that communications line tapping does not breach security.
CA XCOM Data Transport also has special security capabilities that can help data centers handle their individual needs. The security features of CA XCOM Data Transport allow installer specification of what can or cannot run under the privileges of someone other than the person requesting the transmission. These security features can also force user IDs from both remote systems to be the same or different. For otherwise unsatisfied security needs, CA XCOM Data Transport supplies various user exits, which enable user-written security packages to be fully integrated.
CA XCOM Data Transport r11 (on some platforms), r11.5 and r11.6 can also use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to perform data transfers under TCP/IP. CA XCOM Data Transport provides certificate authentication, data encryption, and data integrity ensuring all data transfers using SSL are secure.
