Provide strong authentication between TSM Server and TEC applications

The Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Server application should be able to provide strong authentication to Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) application, in order to provide security between both TSM and TEC servers and also to attend the ITCS 104 section 4.2.1.J requirement 9, which says:

- Access to the IBM blue zone from an IBM basic yellow zone is permitted using strong authentication.
- The flow must limit access to the requesting system(s) by filtering on IP Address/Subnet, Protocol and Port;
- If a technical limitation exists that prevents authentication of syslog, print, SNMP, or DNS, then a limited subset of flows are permitted using host to host, and protocol filtering. For operational guidance refer to the IES OMT Web page, at http://w3-03.ibm.com/tools/it/ittools.nsf/main/security_ies_flows. That authentication should be done through a mutual key exchange between the systems or other strict security method.
