FTAC provides the functions for controlling FT activities on a computer-specific and userspecific basis using admission sets and admission profiles:
Security levels (0 to 100) are defined for a user ID in the admission set. The security levels have an influence on which file transfer functions this ID can use and which partner systems it can use them with.
Admission profiles define a transfer admission which must be specified in file transfer requests instead of the LOGIN or LOGON authorization for the remote system. Access rights to a user ID are defined by restricting the use of parameters in file transfer requests.
If FTAC is used, the FT administrator must assign security levels to the partner systems, see section "FTAC security levels for partner entries".
WARNING!
Note that openFT-AC is only effective for connected products such as openFT. If other file transfer products without an openFT-AC connection are also being used, a more comprehensive and coordinated security concept would be advisable.
