RE: Tying in biometric scanning to 5250 sign on

I stand corrected.  That works for IBM's Emulator but what about other
3rd party emulators such as Mochasoft?  Also we do not allow the bypass
at this time but force a signon screen.  We have internet users using
tn5250.  They cannot do SSO because they are not under our direct
control.  (Not part of our active directory.)  What options might I have
for this to work?  We are looking at SSO but have not gone there yet.
Too few applications that run on our network support SSO.  Would be
great for Netserver as well as TN5250, but our HR and other 3rd party
apps are not SSO, yet.

You are incorrect.

As of v5r3 the following support SSO:

DRDA
iSeries Access (Navigator & data transfer??)
LDAP
NetServer
PC5250 Emulation
QFileSvr.400
HTTP


Taken from an COMMON presentation by IBM.

As I recall, for SSO to work in a 5250 session, the session has to be
configured with "by-pass sign on" which allows authentication without
the standard 5250 sign-in screen being displayed.
