Re: Interactive Subsystem - Automatic Signon

Mike,

The only way I know of to do this works under level 30, but not under level
40.... so I can't reccomend it.

It involves adding a workstation entry to an interactive subsystem similar to
this:
ADDWSE SBSD(MYSBS) WRKSTN(MYDEV) JOBD(MYLIB/MYJOBD) AT(*ENTER)

The AT(*ENTER) parameter states that the device is allocated when the enter key
is pressed.  The jobd (MYLIB/MYJOBD) has to have a user profile specified in it.
This is the user profile that the terminal job will run as.  You'll want to make
sure that this user profile is captured into an initial program, and that it has
the barest minimum authority, because anyone will be able to run jobs as this
user.

Again, this only works at Security level 30 and below.  At level 40 and above 
the
OS will generate AF (authority failure) journal entry types in QAUDJRN whenever
someone attempts to use a jobd that with a user profile attached(*).

Another option (I haven't actually tried this), might be to generate a special
signon screen for these kiosk terminals.   You could make the password
non-display, and give it a fixed value in the dds.    Not sure if this is
possiblle, but maybe it will spark an idea.
