Password Management

TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX supports two types of credentials:

  1. User Profiles

  2. Responder Profiles

For more information on user profiles and responder profiles, see the "User Profiles" section in the TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX Installation and Operation Guide.

User Profiles

User profiles allow a user or an administrator to define credentials when initiating transfers to a target node. Here is how user profiles work.

Advantages of Using User Profiles

Responder Profiles

Responder profiles are used when remote Platform Server clients initiate transfers to Platform Server for UNIX. The CyberResp daemon matches the credentials sent by the client against predefined responder profile credentials for that server. Here is how responder profiles work.

Advantages of Using Responder Profiles

Responder profiles can be used for the following requests:

Note: Platform Server user profiles and responder profiles can both be used on the same transfer.

Responder Profile Password Rules

You can define password complexity rules for responder profiles. For details, see "Responder Profile Password Rules" in the config.txt Configuration section.
