This feature allows you to pre-configure a list of IP addresses that will be able to connect and log on without any User ID, Password or Domain prompting when using 3rd Party Clients.
Autologon is useful in many situations, however the real power of this feature is realized when coupled with the Session Saver (page 35) and/or used with RF Data collection devices for fast and easy connection establishment. For example when a connection is broken due to a link failure you can reconnect without the time consuming UserID, Password and Domain prompts and resume work exactly where you left off before the link failure.
A text file is used for specifying the IP address that will autologon. The name of the file is gs_logon.txt and is installed in the Telnet Root Directory.
The order of the fields in the file is as follows:
|
Field |
Description |
|
IP Address |
The IP address of
the client |
|
Domain |
Specify the dot
. character if no domain is used. |
|
User Name |
The User ID for the
connection |
|
Password |
The Password |
For example the following entry in the file:
63.80.112.70 .
rayr sharpbook
Instructs the system that when a user connects from the IP Address 63.80.112.70 that the connection should be authenticated as ./rayr with the password set to sharpbook.
The # character in the first column designates a comment line.
NOTE1: The IP address must start in the first column.
NOTE2: For security reasons it is prudent to set the file gs_logon.txt to allow only SYSTEM Read Access. NO other accounts should be allowed to access this file.
