RE: iAccess vs ACS question

One of my clients is running iAccess and PowerTerm for almost 10,000 users
on Windows 10.

We told the Field IT group that IBM doesn't support the old code when they
started the Win10 rollout, and that they would have to call IBM themselves
when the users started having problems.

True, but I think PC5250 on older versions of Windows is unlikely to break
in the foreseeable future.


To the OP, you might consider thin clients running 5250 emulation, which is
what we do in the production environment. They just up right to a 5250
signon.

Admiral Grace Hopper would have a field day beating up these people!

The old emulator is not supported on Windows 10 and will not be supported at
all by this time next year. It will receiver no further updates while the
newer better ACS will continue to evolve and receive updates.

You can suppress the sign on by using single sign on. There is no optional
to use the windows userID and Password with ACS as there was with iSeries
Access. This is partly because Windows keeps changing and partly because ACS
runs on Windows Linux AND MAC.
