Conversation-level security option sets

z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programmer's LU 6.2 Guide
SC27-3669-00

VTAM® supports the following conversation-level security option sets:
User ID verification (212)
Enables an application program to specify a user identifier and password that the local LU can use to verify a user identifier on a request for a conversation. The application program that receives the request can use this information to determine whether to accept the conversation request.
Program supplied user identifier and password (213)
Enables a program that is allocating a conversation to supply the user identifier and password to be sent on the allocation request. VTAM offers pass-through support for this option set by allowing security access subfields on the allocation requests. The application program can implement the option set.
User ID authorization (214)
Enables a program or operator to designate the user identifiers that are authorized to access specific resources of the LU, such as transaction programs. VTAM offers pass-through support for this option set by allowing security access subfields on the allocation requests. The application program can implement the option set.
Profile verification and authorization (215)
Enables a program or operator to designate the profiles that the local LU uses to verify a profile carried on allocation requests it receives. The program can also designate the profiles that are authorized to specific resources of the LU, such as transaction programs. VTAM offers pass-through support for this option set by allowing security access subfields on the allocation requests. The application program can implement the option set.
Profile pass-through (217)
Enables the transaction program that is allocating a conversation to specify that the allocation request carry the profile received on the request that started the program. The application program can implement this option set by maintaining a table of profiles used when allocation requests are received. VTAM offers pass-through support for this option set by allowing security access subfields on the allocation requests. The application program can implement the option set.
Program supplied profile (218)
Enables the application program that is allocating a conversation to supply the profile to be sent on the allocation request. VTAM offers pass-through support for this option set by allowing security access subfields on the allocation requests. The application program can implement the option set.
