Re: Telnet concerns from auditors

Would I be correct in saying the risk the auditors are concerned
about is the ID and Password being sent in clear text? This is corrected,
of course, by using the 'bypass signon' feature in iSeries Navigator.
Is there any other thing about telnet that they would be concerned
about?

Have you considered using SSL telnet? That way nothing is sent in the clear.

One problem with using the bypass signon feature is that, if the user signs off, they get a signon screen and have to send the userid & password in the clear.
