Like TPX the Tubes product will cater for single password and passing on passwords to the applications, as described in the previous entries, but it also has RACF PassTicket support - once the user is Authenticated at sign-on to Tubes then it utilises RACF capabilities to authorise the sign-on to all their applications. Whatever the approach please don't expect the poor end-user to remember multiple passwords - they will only write them all down on a whiteboard! This is one of the key benefits of using a session manager - centralized security, administration and control. With also using RACF to determine what applications a user can see and use the security team maintain complete control - auditors heaven. Don't be fooled by those who say they can just open up more emulation windows - a slippery slope to lose of security and control.
