In each of the three cases on this screen, you can enter:

• The name of a program (or *NONE)
• The name of the library containing the program (or *LIBL)

You can set exit programs for:

Allow/Reject Request

An additional check done after Firewall accepts or rejects an access request. The result of the program can override the earlier decision.

Enable Application Level Security

Which program to use to check application passwords.

To use standard programs (SMZ8/GSASTDR for Remote Server or SMZ8/GSASTDPROC for SQL Server), set the field to *STD.

To use a different program, enter its name in this field and its library in the Library subfield.

Pre Power Down System

A program run before the system powers down.

NOTE: You can also set user exit programs for specific servers, as shown in Modifying Firewall Settings for Servers.
