Auto-Connect User login
The PortServer supports two types of automatic logins. Auto Connect User (described here)
connects a specified user to a specified host no matter what port or terminal that user logs in
from. Auto Connect Port (described on page 91) connects a specified port to a specified host
no matter what user logs in through it.
Auto Connect User effectively makes a user name a synonym for a particular connection
request. As soon as the user logs in, he or she is connected to the selected system only. An auto-
connected user cannot ever escape to the PortServer command line, run multiple sessions, or
otherwise connect to a different system other than the one configured for the auto connection.
See Set Users name=auto on page 57.
Auto user login
One or more ports (presumably physically secure) may be configured to leave the Unknown user
permanently logged in. No user name or password is ever required to gain access to PortServer
command mode.
Example: set login range=1-4 login=off passwd=off
Important! Login must be set to ON for Auto users—see set logins login= on page 51.
Auto connect user with password
After logging in, the particular user is connected to a specific system, and cannot access the
PortServer command line. If configured with set users dport=0 or set users
dport=513, the connection is made using the “rlogin” protocol. If configured with set users
dport=23, the connection is telnet.
Important! Login must be set to ON for Auto users—see set logins login= on page 51.
Rlogin Example:
set users name=martha passwd=on dport=0 dest=192.1.2.3 auto=on
