Automatic Signon

[peteh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Pete hall)]

>> I am trying to get a Client Access for Windows 95 connection to sign
on automatically.  I bounce the PC every night using RUNRMTCMD and it
needs to sign back onto the AS/400 after it restarts.  Anyone got any
bright ideas? <<

James,

You can embed a userid and password in client access. Exactly where
depends on what connection type you're using. If you need to establish a
terminal session, there is a parameter somewhere in the CA config that
allows auto-signon, and also one that forces the login display to be
bypassed. I don't have a machine I can look at right now (I'm in San
Antonio), but I had to set this up for some shop floor data collection
devices last month, and had no trouble finding the parameters. Make the
user profile limited capability, and specify a login program with
initial menu *SIGNOFF so that nothing other than the job you want to run
can be executed. So far it's working for us. Sorry I can't be a little
more specific.
