7.7 Configuring APPC Security
You can perform the following configuration tasks for APPC security:
• Configuring session security as described in Section 7.7.1, Configuring Session Security

7.7.1 Configuring Session Security
Session-level security is used to validate LU-LU sessions. Each definition consists of a local LU name, a partner
LU name, and a password.
SNAplus2 uses the password to validate sessions between the local LU and partner LU. (The passwords are not
related to HP-UX logon passwords.)
To configure session security, use one of the following methods:
Motif administration program
Select
APPC, Security, and
Session-level security from the
Services menu on the Node window.
Command-line administration program
Issue the following command:
define_lu_lu_password
Session Security Configuration Parameters
The following parameters are required for session security configuration:
Local LU
The LU name of the local LU. The name is a string of 1–8 characters.
Partner LU
The fully qualified LU name of the partner LU.
Password
A password that SNAplus2 can use to validate sessions between the local LU and the partner LU. The
password is a 16-digit hexadecimal number that is used to create a key, which is exchanged when the session
is established. This password is not related to HP-UX login passwords on either the local or the remote node.
Additional Configuration
After performing the session security configuration, continue with the following configuration tasks:
• To configure conversation security, see Section 7.7.2, Configuring Conversation Security.
• To configure 5250 communication, see Chapter 8, Configuring User Applications.
7.7.2 Configuring Conversation Security
Conversation security is used to validate incoming conversations. Each definition consists of a user ID and a
password. This user ID is not related to HP-UX login user IDs on either the local or the remote node.
