Planning for security

Whether you are implementing Host On-Demand purely within your corporate network, or you are using it to provide access to your host systems over the Internet, security is a concern. This chapter provides an overview of Host On-Demand security.

• Transport Layer Security (TLS) Provides encryption, certificate-based authentication, and security negotiations over an established Telnet or FTP connection. See TLS for Host On-Demand for details.
• The Redirector. Supports TLS between Host On-Demand clients and the Host On-Demand server. See The Redirector for details.
• Firewalls. You can configure Host On-Demand to go through a firewall. See Using Host On-Demand with a firewall for details.
• User ID security. Includes Web Express Logon, Native Authentication, and Windows Domain logon. See User ID security for details.
• Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) environments. See FIPS environments if your environment requires that your security components use FIPS-certified components/modules.
