4.4.11 Security
The security manager is used to define session level
passwords for other systems. It can also be used to
explicitly refuse File/Update Requests and Mail from a
system, and to disable/enable specific protocol and handshake
options to fine tune your outbound mail sessions.
Session level passwords are used to protect the receiving
(called) system in a mail session, and calling system during
an outbound EMSI session, to ensure that the calling system
really is what it appears to be. Anyone can setup a Mailer,
like FrontDoor or D'Bridge and send you mail. If there is
mail waiting for the address they are using, your system will
by default attempt to send it.
You should setup session level passwords for all your common
mail links, such as echomail distribution systems, etc.
System The system address of the remote system. Eg.
2:270/17.
Password Defines the session level password that your
system will present when calling the
specified system and the password that your
system requires to establish a mail session
with the specified system.
Note that some systems treat passwords case
sensitive, ie. ALLAN is not treated like
AlLaN. The Mailer (FD) will treat passwords
case insensitive on incoming (inbound) calls.
They will, however, be sent EXACTLY as you
have defined them here.
You do not have to specify a password to use
any of the other options.
FREQs Whether or not the specified system is
allowed to make File/Update Requests (see
"File Requests").
Mail Whether or not your system will allow the
specified system to call your system. Note
that by disabling (setting it to "NO") this
option, you may be in violation of network
policy.
EMSI Whether or not you want the Mailer to attempt
to negotiate an EMSI session when it calls
the specified system.
FTSC1 Whether or not you want the Mailer to attempt
to negotiate an FTS-1 session when it calls
the specified system.
Zap Whether or not you want the Mailer to use the
ZedZap/Zmodem protocol when negotiating an
FTS-6 (YooHoo) session. If this is set to
"NO", the DietIFNA protocol (Telink/SEAlink)
will be used during YooHoo sessions with the
specified system.
YooHoo Whether or not you want the Mailer to attempt
to negotiate an FTS-6 session when it calls
the specified system.
