AS/400 on the WEB--Disallowing certain users
No, its not quite that simple. We do not want any of our existing users to remotely access our 400. For example, they go home and start a telnet session. They already have an ID and PW. I guess we want to be able to have a "filter" only allowing certain users access.

AS/400 on the WEB--Disallowing certain users
Rick - You will have a hard time correlating users and IP addresses before the user signs onto your system since you can't match user and IP address (EX: I could be at 10.10.10.1 one day and 10.10.10.100 the next depending on the address assigned by my ISP if I have a dial-up connection.) You could interogate the IP address of the user's device using the QDCRDEVD API in an initial program and boot them back to a sign-on screen if they don't match your allowed users. HTH, Steve

I think you should look at exit program. This way you can control who is allowed to login. Unfortunatly, with the internet, security is a big issu so you may want to use some form of encryption to protect the user id and password that are send in clear text if not encrypted.

AS/400 on the WEB--Disallowing certain users
We are considering allowing internet access to the AS/400. We understanding the network technologies,firewalls, etc. Where we are finding difficulties is with the AS/400 and how to allow only certain users access via pass-thrus and workstations. We have looked into QRMTSIGN, its settings, and program. We are thinking the program option may be the way to do it and have found a modifiable sample of such. We simply are not sure what to do: is this the right approach or is there another way. Anyone who has been thru this---we would appreciate you advice! Thanks!
