The connection via which an administrator performs the local administration of a UTM application can be generated in different ways. It is possible to generate the connection via
a TPOOL statement
a PTERM and LTERM statement
Recommendation
The connection for the (main) administrator should be generated via a PTERM and an LTERM statement. On the one hand, this type of connection offers better protection against unauthorized access than an open terminal pool. On the other, an LTERM that is explicitly generated as an administrator workstation can be identified as privileged using the following statement:
MAX PRIVILEGED-LTERM = lterm-name
In bottleneck situations, UTM treats a connection generated in this way as privileged in order to make it easier for an administrator to access applications that are subject to high load.
