TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS 8.1.0

# DNI Security

When using DNI, you must consider two security issues: local security and remote security.

## Local Security

Local security refers to security on the system where DNI is executing.

When the Platform Server is accessing files on requests initiated by DNI, the user associated with the Platform Server started task is used when accessing files locally. This means that the Platform Server started task must have authority to read, write, or alter all the datasets controlled by DNI.

## Remote Security

Remote security refers to security on the system that DNI is communicating with.

When communicating with remote Platform Server nodes, a user ID and password is required for authentication before a request can be accepted. The user ID and password can be specified in the DNI configuration member by using the REMOTE_USER or (RUSER) and REMOTE_PASS or (RPASS) parameters. Alternatively, the Platform Server user profiles can be used to create the remote user ID and remote password combination. The local user ID that is used to select the correct user profile is the user ID associated with the Platform Server started task. See TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS Installation and Operation Guide for more information on Platform Server user profiles.
