Re: How do you create a CD with a selected install of Client Access?

Dave--

Unless you restrict the PCs so that the local user does not have administrative rights to their own PC, there's nothing to stop them from linking directly to the IFS directory with ODBC and downloading the whole package. Or just swapping CDs with someone else and loading the less-restrictive version.

You'll have to restrict access to the base copy of Client Access in the IFS at a minimum, and creating your subsets with access limited by user.

What I need to do is create a mechanism where I can have a very selective install package of iSeries Client Access. How do I do it?
For instance, I want to have one install CD or sub-directory where I have an install package that only installs the smallest portion of iNavigator possible. On another PC, I only want to have an install package for a very limited set of functions of the 5250 emulator. The point here is to keep users from seeing and using those pieces I don't want them to have/use. I know one can restrict what they can do at the system level, but I have WAY too many users that are allow to have ALLOBJ or Spool Control or other special privileges. Hopefully, one day I will be allowed to get control over all these special privileges but until then I have to find a way to give them some things they want but restrict what they can do via the install of Client Access.

Thanks in advance,
