In knowledge center, there is a chapter about APPC, APPN and HPR security. You may want to check this chapter. The oldest I have found is for 6.1. Even if HPR was not available in V4R5, APPC, APPN concepts were already here of course, and they did dot change a lot in the 21th century.

Thanks. I have the V5 version of that document and re-read the laughingly small security chapter.

Apparently, there is none. As far as I understand, it's possible to add a session level "password" to APPC DEVDs, but this isn't allowed for APPN based APPC DEVDs (LOCADR=0).

I never played with that topic. You can maybe have a look at Configuration lists (CFGL) and communication entries of a subsystem. There is also an exit program that you can associate to DDMACC parameter of network attributes. But not all SNA communications are related to DDM.

I guess, I need once more to do some research myself. :-)

Good luck :-)
