Security and Web Express Logon

HATS offers security for your applications. Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), HATS provides a secure connection between your HATS application and the Telnet server it connects to.

HATS also supports Secure Shell (SSH) for VT connections.

Web Express Logon (WEL) gives you a mechanism to authenticate users (that run HATS Web applications and portlets) and provides them with single signon capability.

Using Kerberos services tickets can automate sign-on for rich client applications that use 5250 Telnet sessions and run on Windows® domain clients.

By supporting Java 2 security, HATS helps you provide protection for system resources and APIs within your WebSphere® Application Server system.

For information about the effects of WebSphere® Application Server security on the use of the HATS administrative console see Using HATS administrative console.
