Port Server Security
You can set up security for port servers in which users must provide a
valid user name and password before they are granted access to an
outgoing port:
1. Set the port_server_security parameter to Y, so that the RA 6300
will use ACP.
2. Define a security server using the pref_secure1_host,
pref_secure2_host, or security_broadcast parameter (see
Configuring the Security Server
3. Create entries in the acp_regime file defining the authentication
systems to be used and the conditions under which to use
them.
The install program creates the acp_regime file, then prompts you
for a default regime and password file name, which it enters into
acp_regime. Subsequently, you can add to and/or change the
contents of this file. (See
15-245.)
4. Create entries in the appropriate password files (see
User Password Files
5. (Optional) Configure encryption for security messages (see
Encrypting Security Messages
