APPC Session Security

Bind-time or session security can prevent an unauthorized connection between CICS and a remote system. If there is a possibility that a transmission line is switched or severed, bind-time security can prevent unauthorized session binds. A successful bind request requires that both the binding entities hold the same bind password (or SNA session key). Your SNA server for Win32 platforms provides Bind-time security.
