Gord,

Unless you're using encrypted telnet, the user id and password type
into the 5250 green screen sign on are sent in the clear; a network
sniffer can easily see them.

However, when using bypass-signon, the user id and passwords are
encrypted into the request to start the session even when the
resulting telnet session is unencrypted.

HTH,

Thanks. I didn't realize that. Our concern is that if you bypass-signon,
someone just needs to disconnect and reconnect the 5250 iseries access
session and it will automatically sign you on. Potentially as someone else.
