Re: RFE for ACS 5250 emulator

Glenn,

We are on 7.1 and my ACS version is the same as yours, 1.1.7.3. I do receive the green screen message after I answer the pop-up message. If you never get the pop up message, I wonder where that is controlled. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe it is because I have it set to prompt for my user ID and password every time. I have multiple profiles, so I want it to prompt every time.

Hi Dean,

What version of IBM i OS are you on and what version of ACS?
We're on 7.3 and 1.1.7.3 respectively and I don't see a pop-up with Y or N
here.
Maybe you can disable the pop-up altogether since the green screen handles
this already.

I see a green screen that says:

Days until password expires . . . : x

Press Enter to continue.

F3=Exit sign-on request F9=Change password


Yours truly,

One of the things that has bugged me for a while about the new 5250
emulator in ACS is how it handles the popup message when your password is
about to expire. It doesn't allow you to use the keyboard to answer the
message. You have to use the mouse. The Windows version of the emulator
allowed the Y or N key to be used to select Yes or No to answer the
message. I would like the new emulator to work the same way. Our
passwords expire every 90 days, so I don't encounter real often. Anyway, I
submitted an RFE to fix this. Please vote if you think it would be
helpful. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?
