openFT supports the security group of the virtual filestore. This provides an effective protection mechanism against unauthorized access to files.
For access authorization to the virtual filestore of a system you need the FTAM protocol parameters initiator identity and filestore password. openFT maps these parameters to the login name and its password in the Unix or Windows system.
For file transfers with FTAM partners it is also possible to use the FTAC functions for extended protection against unauthorized forms of access. If an admission profile in Unix or Windows systems is to be addressed by an FTAM partner, then the transfer admission for the profile concerned must be supplied in the protocol parameter initiator identity. The parameters filestore password and account must not be specified. Apart from this, the rules of the FTAC functions described in this manual apply here (e.g. referencing a file that has been predefined in the admission profile either with the specification *NOT-SPECIFIED for the file name, or by omitting the file name, etc.).
