iSeries Access for Windows policies can be handled through these Central Settings. However, the following policies are not supported: installation, detailed PC5250 settings, and computer access (Application Administration does not allow you to specify whether a computer (PC) is allowed or denied access to a function).
The following figure shows you what to expect when you select a system > Application Administration > Central Settings. From this dialog, you can work with the Central Settings. This dialog allows you to grant or deny access to specific administrable functions by selecting the check boxes. The items listed are the administrable functions that are available to administer on the Client Applications page.

You can administer iSeries Access for Windows functions from the Central Settings page, but to work with advanced settings for iSeries Access for Windows,
you need to open the Advanced Settings dialog by clicking Advanced Settings. Through the administration system, a system administrator can set the advanced settings for a user or group. The administrator can either mandate or suggest these values. The advanced settings are available only if advanced settings for iSeries Access for Windows are registered.
To work with the advanced settings for a user or group,
complete the following steps:
- From iSeries Navigator,
right-click your administration system.
- Select Application Administration > Central Settings.
- Click Advanced Settings.
- Select the user or group you want to work with.
- Click the Connections tabbed page to set sign-on information, performance settings, and whether Secure Sockets layer (SSL) is used when a user or group connects to the system. Click the padlock to change a value between mandated and suggested.
- Click the Passwords tab to specify whether to warn users before their passwords expire. You may also specify whether to allow caching of passwords and whether all incoming remote commands are allowed when caching is disabled. Click the padlock to change a value from mandated to suggested, or vice versa.
- Click the Language tab to specify default or user-defined values for character conversion overrides. You can also specify to enable bidirectional script transformations. Click the padlock to change a value from mandated to suggested, or vice versa.
- Click the Service tab to specify whether to automatically start background service jobs. Click the padlock to change a value from mandated to suggested, or vice versa.
- Select the Environments tab to specify what environments are available to the selected user or group. The environments defined by the system administrator cannot be changed by the user or group.
This information differs from the iSeries Access for Windows policy.
- Click the Plug-ins tabbed page. Use this page to specify whether you want to automatically determine if new plug-ins are available for installation. By default, Automatically determine if new plug-ins are available for install is selected.
When this box is selected, the i5/OS® operating system scans clients for their plug-ins when they first connect to it. If the system has additional plug-ins for the client, it prompts the user to install them. This setting can be turned off by clearing the Automatically determine if new plug-ins are available for install box.
- Click OK to close the Advanced Settings dialog.
- Click OK to close the Application Administration dialog.
