NC-Pass

NC-Pass broadens your organization’s security beyond the VTAM network frontend to your user's business transaction. You can implement user authentication through the TLI from any point in the network by using the TCP/IP TLI. You can also use the TLI to request user ID and password validation from within the transaction, thus protecting sensitive transactions in excess of a certain value. 

NC-Pass databases can be held on individual nodes supporting definitions for users and terminals assigned to that node in multi-node networks. Your users can specify the name of the machine to be authenticated, if connecting to a node that is not their regular connection machine. Home node processing is especially beneficial on large networks where users need access from home and remote locations.

• NC-Pass VSSE (VTAM Session Security Exit) with the VTAM Session Management Exit (SME), you can allow only authorized connections. It controls which LU-to-LU sessions VTAM will allow or deny. Includes application-to-printer, peer-to-peer, terminal-to-application and network job entry (NJE) sessions.
• NC-Pass Secure gives your organization active network security and information protection by limiting users to permitted applications only, via user ID and passwords. It also includes the features of NC-Pass VSSE, enabling you to protect sensitive applications with user ID.
• NC-Pass Authenticator incorporates the full range of NC-Pass Secure features and includes three-factor authentication using personal devices. This option allows you to validate a user's identity via a user ID, a personal device-generated code and a user-changeable password.
