Re: How can I easily enable/disable remote access by User

John,

Check out Easy400's site (www.easy400.net). They have some free utilities (with source code) that allows you to easily secure some TCP protocols, such as TCP and/or TELNET.


Hope this helps.

We want to allow only secure telnet session to connect and
not allow unsecure telnet on port 23. I looked on the telnet
config and can see where you can allow secure telnet but I
don't see any place to not allow unsecure telnet. I
currently have a exit point registered where I am tracking
who is not connecting secure and could just reject the
non-secure using the exit point, or have our network group
block port 23 traffic for us or use the iSeries firewall to
block port 23. Is there another option I have not found?

At times we want to restrict certain Users from access the
System i from remote location. But while they are in the
office they can access the System i.

So I can't ask the employee to let me know when they
are
leaving the office, then go in and disable their User
Profile (they can work later then me). I would also have to
make sure I enabled it before they came in in the morning
(they may come in before me).

I have a request to come up with a way to allow us to

easily

enable or disable remote access by user

at any given time or day.



Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this

request?

Simple program? Inexpensive software solution?





Thanks
