Abstract: Various embodiments include at least one of systems, methods, software, and data structures for communicating security credentials between Customer Information Control System (CICS) regions in a container of a CICS channel data structure. Some embodiments include receiving a dataset from a first CICS application executing within a first CICS region, the dataset received from the first CICS application for transmission to a second CICS application in a second CICS region. When the dataset includes a channel data, populating a container of the channel data with credential data to authenticate the dataset within the second CICS region and forwarding the dataset to a CICS transformer process of the first CICS region to transform and communicate the dataset to the second application in the second CICS region.
