Unsecured Mode

The characteristics of unsecured mode are as follows:

• The CICS region has been started with SEC=NO in the SIT.
• The user ID and password specified in the plug-in are not used in the CICS region. They can be present in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks activities and sent to the CICS region, but are not used.
• The security exit in Sockets Setup is blank.
• It is best practice to use the new SXNSECUR or SXNSECID security exit, which is designed to work with SEC=NO or SEC=YES and both plain and encrypted USERID/PASSWORD from the plug-in.
• All SXNE transactions run with the user ID that started Socket Listener through the EZAO transaction, PLT start or user ID on Listener Configuration Setup (field USERID).
• The listener accepts on bind requests and starts the child listener SXNENTER for all initial messages that are sent in.
• In TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks activities, the user ID and password are optional and not used in the CICS region.
• The password is encrypted.
