I think the answer is the same for OSA-ICC as for all other 'outside' accesses to the mainframe: VPN. Let RSA do the heavy lifting. By the time you reach the console, you have already been validated. You can also access HMC in the same way.

This has been done on a private network within the data center. We now have the requirement to monitor the mainframe from a remote site. OSA-ICC does not have an option to secure the Console traffic from the client to the OSA card. Has anyone else out there faced this issue and how did you resolve? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
