Re: Vary On Sessions

     suggest you take a look at the History Log DSPLOG and take
a look to see if there is any further info.

One of the security measures  is to vary off devices if a certain number
of invalid signon attempts are made.

See System Values:
QMAXSIGN    *SEC     Maximum sign-on attempts allowed
and
QMAXSGNACN  *SEC     Action to take for failed signon attempts
