Subject: 5250 sessions killing the system
I have this case opened with IBM. There are certain clients attaching to
the system where it starts 10,000+ port 23 (telnet) connections to our
system. All using the same 1-3 workstation id's. Totally blows our
activity level out of the water and is quite an effective denial of
attack.on
-- Some TCP connections do not spawn "jobs". Therefore we'll use a
different service.
select local_port, remote_address, count(*) as nbrconnections
from gdihq.qsys2.NS_INFO
where local_port = 23
group by local_port, remote_address
having count(*) > 10
;
Messing with things like QAUTOCFG, QAUTOVRT has ZERO effect on stopping
this.
IBM's reply has been basically put on a patch to that version of the
deprecated Client Access or upgrade to iACS.
Since most of these are Windows 7 VM sessions our Windows admins are
leaning towards the patch. When they are ready to upgrade to Windows 10
the 'gold' image they'll upgrade to iACS.list
