Re: Single Signon via EIM

My hosts file(all of them) only have 127.0.0.1 localhost. And I have
created several different connections to various AS400's for each of my
clients. I also use code, so I am not sure what makes the difference.

I don't know anything about EIM either, but in looking at my HOSTS file, I
see the names of the connections that I've created from which I've used CODE

Designer or Edit, modified with R0 or R1, just as they show up in CODE when
I use it. The connections that I haven't used it with aren't there, so my
hypothesis is that they're part of what enables CODE to pick up the RSE
connection settings. Anyone know for sure?

We are working on setting up Single Signon using Enterprise Identity
Management (EIM) and were told by IBM that it is not possible on any PC
that runs WDSc. This is due to the fact that WDSc requires entries in
the HOSTS file that preclude EIM from working. Does anyone have any
more info on this? Are there any plans to eliminate this restriction?

I know nothing of EIM or single signon. I run WDSC 7 on Windows XP pro,
SP 2. In \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts I found to my surprise
that there are two entries marked 'added by Eclipse' One is the IP
address of my iSeries with the system name having the first two
characters replaced with R0.

So instead of being IBMISERI, it is R0MISERI.

The second entry has the same IP address but I don't recognise the name
at all, it being R0K00001.

How host table entries would prohibit EIM from working is quite beyond
me. Why Eclipse felt the need to add these entries is also beyond me
though, so apparently I'm not all that smart :-)
