When APA attempts to establish a system connection it must send your credential details, that is your user ID and password or pass phrase, to the APA Listener on z/OS for authentication. Each credential can be used on systems that share the credential without re-entering the details every time. At least one credential must be defined before a connection to APA can be established.
