RE: Locking an ip interface to user profiles

Yes and No. You will have to use exit programs to restrict who can
attach to the server from a remote system at that particular IP address.
The exit program should give you the local IP and Port as well as the
remote IP, Port, and User. From that you can give a thumbs up or down.

As for who can bind to the IP address for outbound connections, you can
set port restrictions to certain user profiles.

I would think an Exit Program should do the trick. I don't do them, but
I've
seen lots of places use them. In fact I know that is how a number of the
TCP/IP security products do there jobs.

That is, I use Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC) to add a new IP

to the iSeries and then do something so that only certain profiles can
use the new interface?

I have the ports locked down, but would like to add profile security.

I suspect the answer is no since I could not find anything about it

and

it looks like security is further up the ISO stack, but I thought I

would

ask.
