Creating a Security Policy
You can create and manage security policy definitions in the Security Policies node in the HIP (host-initiated processing) Console.
When the HIP Console is first started, the Security Policies node is empty. The Security Policies node contains definitions for how Windows security credentials are established before the execution of the server object. The source of the security credentials can be the following:
Based on User IDs and Passwords delivered to HIP by the client application program.
Based on User IDs and Passwords delivered to HIP by well-defined host protocol standards (SNA attach header: FMH5).
Default host-based User ID and Password.
Windows credentials that the HIP application runs under
When host-based credentials are used, the Windows credentials are obtained by using the Single Sign-On (SSO) feature. This feature translates host-based User ID, Password and SSO Affiliated Application ID to a security identification number (SID) that is representative of the Window credentials. The server object is then executed with the translated security credentials.
You can create a new security policy by using the Security Policy Wizard.
