NSCONTROL AUTOLOGON
Discussion
NSCONTROL AUTOLOGON allows the user the ability to disable and
re-enable autologon for the NS 3000/iX services supporting this feature.
Autologon is enabled at NS 3000/iX startup. NSCONTROL AUTOLOGON
must be executed after the NSCONTROL START command. When the
NS 3000/iX services are stopped, the autologon option resets to the
default.
Disabling autologon may be important on those systems that use a
logon UDC to help enforce system security. With autologon enabled (the
default), a remote user can access local NFT, RFA and RPM services
without executing logon UDC’s. With autologon disabled, remote users
must first establish a remote session with the REMOTE HELLO command,
and thus execute any preset logon UDC(s), before using an NS 3000/iX
service.
It is recommended that users with security logon UDCs disable
autologon for all services in order to preserve the security of the system
from remote users. Incoming requests attempting to use the autologon
feature will fail, since a remote session cannot be established
automatically.
