In this evaluation scenario, a desktop application administrator is in charge of setting up and using Management and Security Server 12.4. The company requires that
The administrator can centrally manage the deployment of Micro Focus terminal emulation products to 1000 users’ workstations (in production).
For this evaluation, the administrator will deploy to one user.
Only authorized users are allowed to access the mainframe applications.
All sessions are connected over a secure protocol.
Applications are locked down (hardened) to ensure company security mandates are enforced.
PCI compliance policies are enforced.
Implementing centralized management and security does not disrupt the end-user experience.
This scenario demonstrates the “before” and “after” effect of using Management and Security Server 12.4 to secure access to the company’s mainframe applications.
The company uses Reflection Desktop version 16.
The company uses a Windows 64-bit system environment with LDAP directory services. Users authenticate to the Windows domain.
The “domain user” in this scenario represents the end user.
The end users are accustomed to logging on before accessing their mainframe sessions.
