I respectfully disagree. An ID is an ID. The ID (and password) is used to authenticate a user.
There is no concept of a 'TSO ID' in this context. Only an ID that is permitted to use TSO. IMNSHO, there is no difference between TSO and FTP from a security perspective. But that only applies to a z/os platform. Simply having a FTP server active on a non z/os platform is a risk some may find unacceptable. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arthur T.

I'd ask the auditors what connection they think there is between FTP and TSO.
