RE: System i signon to iNav

Rob,

In one instance it's me. I can't even open a connection without having
to signon, even though I'll have multiple PC5250 sessions open.

The other instance is a procurement analyst who's trying to download
data into MS Access. Her co-worker doesn't have to re-authenticate to
perform a similar function, but she does.

And, I used to not have to re-authenticate just to open a connection,
but I'm not sure what I changed.

Bryan

It all depends. For example, if you are using iNav to run DNS server on

your i then you'll need Godlike authority on the system. Which went
over
really well with people here with 20+ years experience in our department

who don't have that but an outside network consultant who wouldn't know
a
WRKSPLF if it stared him in the face, does.

So basically, it depends on the individual service they are trying to
use
in iNav.

Other factors to consider:
- What ports are blocked from this person? Check the wiki and IBM
infocenter and whatnot for what ports are needed by various functions of

iNav.
- We don't use SSL here for local users (ducking and running, in a
serpentine fashion). So, if you have some stuff set up that way you may

notice that.
