Re: Telnet server multiple instances?

Hello Larry,

Here's the thing about signon screens. If you read the section in the manual that describes which subsystem will provide the signon screen it states: "If there is a matching workstation entry with *SIGNON in multiple subsystems, the subsystem that provides the Sign On screen cannot be predicted."

Thanks for this hint!

In such an exit program you get, among others, the user profile and the source IP address. Using this information you can react in a way that the user ends up in the subsystem of your choice.

Do you suggest there's another way instead of changing the LU name?

Examples might be workstation entries like "USEN*" to one subsystem and "MXSP*" to another subsystem. When a user who needs Spanish language is detected you would create a device for them named MXSP0001 for example (Starts with MSXP) then return that device name to the Exit Program.

So it really boils down to change the LU name with the aid of an exit program.

Decide that the IP address range doesn't deserve a signon screen at all! Decide that at a particular TIME you don't want to give them a signon screen.

… or simply present a screen showing a static "maintenance undergoing, please come back in one hour". I get what you mean.
