Rocket^® Secure Host Access Anywhere 

Rocket^® Secure Host Access Anywhere is a secure terminal emulator that provides access to the mainframe and other host-based applications and data via desktop- or web-based green screens through a centralized, modern console. It delivers centrally managed, zero‑footprint access without requiring software installation on every workstation. 
 

The solution extends enterprise identity and access management (IAM) solutions to offer centrally managed MFA and SSO to both desktop- and web-based emulators. It applies consistent authentication, authorization, and encryption policies across all sessions, reducing security gaps caused by inconsistent emulator versions, weak passwords, or unmanaged endpoints. 
 

Yes. Secure Host Access Anywhere integrates with enterprise identity and access management (IAM) solutions. Users authenticate with corporate credentials, and access is enforced based on role, directory attributes, and existing IAM policies. 
 

Secure Host Access Anywhere supports authentication to RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret. Host communication is protected using HTTPS, TLS, SSH, and FIPS 140‑2–validated encryption, helping meet enterprise security and compliance requirements. 
 

No. Users can securely access host applications through a browser without installing a desktop client. This zero‑footprint approach simplifies onboarding, reduces endpoint risk, and enables access for contractors and remote users. Secure Host Access Anywhere does, however, include support for desktop-based emulators that can be managed alongside your web emulators for instances where they’re required within your organization.
 

Because access offers centrally managed and browser‑based, Secure Host Access Anywhere can continue to provide secure user access during system outages, natural disasters, or other disruptions, supporting business continuity when desktop access may not be available.
