SSL Authentication

By using SSL, TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS supports both server authentication and client authentication to insure that in a file transfer, the client validates the identity of the server and the server validates the identity of the client.

When using TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS with SSL, if you want to send a file to a remote platform server, you must authenticate the identity of the remote platform server before issuing a transfer request; this is done through server authentication. If you receive a file transfer request from a remote platform server, you must authenticate the identity of the remote platform server before accepting the data; this is done through client authentication. Data transfer starts only after the authentication is completed.

TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS performs SSL authentication by using digital certificates and certificate authority (CA). For more information of digital certificates and certificate authority, see Digital Certificates and Certificate Authority.
