Security Considerations › Security Checking

Security Checking

The security checking of CA XCOM Data Transport processing done by your resident security software falls into the following three categories.

Locally initiated file transfers

CA XCOM Data Transport checks if predefined user access privileges permit such processing on the local system. For example, for a send file transfer there must be access privileges to read the file being sent.

Remotely initiated file transfers

CA XCOM Data Transport checks whether the predefined security profile for the user ID/password specified by the remote user allows the requested processing on the local system. For example, for a send file transfer involving the update of a file, the resident security software will check whether that user ID has update access privileges to that file.

File transfers dependent on user logon

The CA XCOM Data Transport server can be configured to check for a user logon (for some or all LUs) before any file transfers can occur on those LUs. The remote partner (Windows family) must support this feature.
