MORE INFORMATION
COMTI TCP/IP security information is sent in the following format:

Microsoft has updated COMTI to support the default IBM-supplied security exit, EZACICSE. After you apply the update and add the specified registry entry, COMTI TCP/IP security information that is supported by EZACICSE is sent in the following format:

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

This update requires that you add a registry key so that COMTI can send the TCP/IP security information using the IBM format for EZACICSE. To add the registry key, follow these steps:  Start Registry Editor (regedit.exe). Locate and click the following key in the registry:

 On the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key. Type UseIBMTCPSecurityExit, and then press ENTER. Select the new UseIBMTCPSecurityExit key. In the right pane of the dialog box, select (Default).</li> On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then enter the following Value data: Value data: TRUE .</li> Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.</li></ol>
