4.5 Data Area Security
The TMA TCP Gateway provides data area security which is a specialized security protocol for the following cases:
- User information is propagated across multiple Tuxedo domain boundaries
- A remote or local service requires a user’s LTERM information
In these cases, a client’s user ID, group name, and
LTERM can be specified in the data area of a request.
For Tuxedo clients, user information specified in the data area is
verified by the remote gateway in the usual manner. For remote
clients, remote user information is placed in the data area fields
by the local gateway to be used by Tuxedo services. In this case,
the remote client does not have to populate these fields, but must
allocate space for them in the data area.
