Securing interactions with the IMS Transaction Manager
You can secure the interactions with IMS™ Connect
and IMS by using the different security features
in IMS TM
resource adapter.
IMS TM resource adapter security
The J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) specifies that the
application server and the Information in an enterprise information
system (EIS) must collaborate to ensure that only authenticated users
are able to access an EIS.
Container-managed EIS signon
With container-managed
EIS signon, the security manager
in the application server manages the security information for your
application.
Component-managed EIS signon
With component-managed
EIS signon, your application manages
the security information provided to IMS Connect
and IMS. In general, your application supplies the
security information to be used for EIS signon.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support
SSL provides security for your interactions by securing
the TCP/IP connection between the IMS TM
resource adapter and IMS Connect.
Changing RACF passwords
When IMS Connect
is configured to perform RACF® authentication, you can change RACF password
by issuing a password change request to IMS Connect
from your Java™ application.
Securing message retrieval from IMS hold queues
You can specify the user ID and password information to
ensure that only authorized users are allowed to retrieve asynchronous
output or callout request messages from the IMS hold queue.
