Introduction to security exits

 

A security exit forms a secure connection between two security exit programs, where one program is for the sending message channel agent (MCA), and one is for the receiving MCA. The program that initiates the secure connection, that is, the first program to get control after the MCA session is established, is known as the context initiator. The partner program is known as the context acceptor.

The following table shows some of the channel types that are context initiators and their associated context acceptors.
