ClearPath Mainframe Servers - Secure Connectivity Secure Web Transaction Server

To Web-enable your business-critical transaction applications running in the MCP environment, there’s no better solution than our Web Transaction Server for ClearPath MCP.

Look at these Secure Web Transaction Server Connectivity Security Features

Web Transaction Server for ClearPath MCP (formerly WebTS) includes numerous security features that go above and beyond what’s provided by most other transaction servers:

• Its interoperability with Kerberos and NTLM – and now NTLMv2 — let you leverage your investment in Microsoft Windows based network authentication into your MCP environment.
• It supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption that protects all the data sent between your Web-enabled MCP system’s applications and their users’ Web browsers. This transaction server supports the industry standards, TLS 1.0 (RFC 2246) as well as SSL Version 3.0.
• X.509v3 digital certificates are supported, too. And, you get the interfaces needed for generating certificate requests and installing server security certificates.
• Web Transaction Server for ClearPath MCP also includes the interfaces needed to generate public/private key pairs.
• Malicious users are prevented from placing any unauthorized and potentially dangerous files into your MCP environment.
• Internet and intranet users can access only the MCP program files and transactions that you specifically register in the Web Transaction Server — completely eliminating any chance of a transaction user executing any unauthorized code in your MCP environment.
• Web Transaction Server for ClearPath MCP supports aliases for file names and transactions, making it difficult for a malicious outside user to determine the actual names needed for an external attack.
• Your administration traffic is isolated from your Web traffic; this software’s administration program uses a separate administrative port.
• You can protect this port from external Web access, thus preventing hackers from modifying your Web Transaction Server configuration. To do this you can use industry-standard firewall mechanisms. Even better, use MCP TCP IP Filter Rules to provide this protection.
• And, for even greater security, traffic between the administration program and the Web Transaction Server is encrypted.
• User authentication of transactions is also supported so that transactions scheduled by Web Transaction Server for ClearPath MCP can be run with the proper authorization, the proper security attributes and with full auditing.
