Description

The SECURITY option activates user security.

If SECURITY is activated, the remote command execution request must supply a local user ID and password. The command is started as that user.

If SECURITY is not activated, the user ID and password is not required from the remote request and the user's process is started with the same user ID as the remote agent.
