RE: System i signon to iNav

I am not sure, but check your 5250 session:
Click Communication from the menu bar,
from the Communication sub menu, click Configure
from the Configure PC5250 window, click Properties at the top right
In the Connection window, in the User ID signon information box
Do you have "Use System i Navigator default" selected ???
I think that might be what you are looking for...

Rob,

In one instance it's me. I can't even open a connection without having to signon, even though I'll have multiple PC5250 sessions open.

The other instance is a procurement analyst who's trying to download data into MS Access. Her co-worker doesn't have to re-authenticate to perform a similar function, but she does.

And, I used to not have to re-authenticate just to open a connection, but I'm not sure what I changed.

Bryan

It all depends. For example, if you are using iNav to run DNS server on

your i then you'll need Godlike authority on the system. Which went over really well with people here with 20+ years experience in our department

who don't have that but an outside network consultant who wouldn't know a WRKSPLF if it stared him in the face, does.

So basically, it depends on the individual service they are trying to use in iNav.

Other factors to consider:
- What ports are blocked from this person? Check the wiki and IBM infocenter and whatnot for what ports are needed by various functions of

iNav.
- We don't use SSL here for local users (ducking and running, in a serpentine fashion). So, if you have some stuff set up that way you may

notice that.

If a user has already authenticated by signing on to a PC5250 session,
what controls whether said user needs to authenticate again if selecting
an iNav function or the like?
