Connection security
Different
levels of communication security are supported
by RSE, which controls communication between the client and
most z/OS® Explorer services:
- External (client-host) communication can be limited to specified ports. This feature is disabled by default.
- External (client-host) communication can be encrypted. This feature is disabled by default.
- Port Of Entry (POE) checking can be used to allow host access only to trusted TCP/IP addresses. This feature is disabled by default.
Some optional z/OS Explorer services use a separate external (client-host) communication path:
z/OS Explorer relies on third-party products, such as the TN3270 server, to provide some services. See the related product documentation for connection security options.
