Sorry for not giving enough details.

The remote users access the System i using Client Access
(loaded on their laptops) via a VPN

It would help us offer a solution for determining whether
local/remote if
you told us how people access remotely.
Check out the command CHGACTSCDE (change activation schedule
entry) which
you could use to schedule normal onsite office hours , and
user would be
disabled during off hours. It is a cmd you could use from a
subfile pgm
(with proper auth). It is part of the Security Tools loaded
on all systems
(GO SECTOOLS).

Thanks for the quick reply,

They want this to be real easy thing to do
(disable/enable)
because it will be done quite often, don't want to
continually have to go into Active Directory to make the
changes if there is an easier way.

We do not want to disable User profile because they are
still allowed to use System i while in the office, just
want
to stop the remote access.

My initial thought was some type of Subfile program that
displays all of the User Profiles and set a flag Allow
Remote Access Y/N.

But once I have the User Profile and the flag value I
guess
I could write a program to run as there initial program
and
if they are attempting remote access end the job.

Not sure how I can tell if they are coming in remotely
versus locally (in the office)

I was also hoping I did not have to write a program if
someone else already has, or if there is an inexpensive
solution available.

Thanks
For your suggestion about Active Directory, I will have to
see if that is possible solution

John

What sort of VPN hardware are you using?

Some grant/deny VPN access through Active Directory and
some
through
internal user lists.

But if access to the i is the only thing you need to
restrict, couldn't you
just enable/disable user profiles on the i?
