Assigning users to a specific subsystem
You can use several techniques to assign device names and then associate those device names with users. After this is accomplished, you can use the workstation entries to get the user to the correct subsystem.
The system has a default naming convention that is used for display sessions. At times this proves insufficient for routing workstation entries across multiple subsystems by user profile. You can make changes on your system to enhance the system's default behavior by assigning and managing your own device naming conventions. There are several ways of doing this. Each approach has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
- Telnet device initialization and terminal exit points
Telnet Device Initialization and Terminal Exit Points. These exit points provide the ability to assign device names based upon the client signing on to the system.- Device selection exit point
This exit point allows you to specify the naming convention used for automatically created virtual devices and virtual controllers and to specify the automatic creating limit used for the special requests.- PC5250 (iSeries Access) workstation ID support
You can configure iSeries™ Access to connect with a specific workstation name. If you click the help button from this window, the various options for specifying the workstation ID, like generating a new name if the one specified is already in use, are displayed.- OS/400 Telnet Client
Using the OS/400® Telnet Client command (STRTCPTELN or TELNET), you can specify the device name that is used to sign on to the server system.- Manually creating virtual controllers and devices
You can manually create your virtual controllers and devices.
