To use StarPipes for Windows with IBM Communications Server for Windows, configure an SNA Gateway to your host. You will need to create a node, device, connection, local LU6.2, partner LU6.2, and mode.
For clients and hosts that support DRDA Level 3 or later, an encrypted user ID and password can be sent in the security check (SECCHK) command to the security manager rather than in the SNA conversation. If you want to allow StarPipes to pass encrypted user IDs and passwords to the IBM Communications Server, be sure to review the topic, DRDA Security Flows,
During configuration of StarPipes for Windows, you will be asked to supply the names of the local LU6.2, partner LU6.2, and mode. Be sure that these names are in upper-case in the IBM Communications Server configuration.
