RE: Is it possible to detect when a person is connecting via VPN

Mark,

A combination of an SQL and QSYS2.NETSTAT_JOB_INFO where JOB_NAME = &jobnum + &job + &user


QSYS2.NETSTAT_JOB_INFO
substr(Local_Address,1,15) , Local_Port,
Job_Name, Remote_Address
Job_name = (&jobnum *cat &job *cat &user)

Subject: Is it possible to detect when a person is connecting via VPN

From an interactive RPG application, I want to be able to interrogate a user's session to determine if they are on the local network, or if they are using a VPN to gain access. The users in question have laptops with static IP addresses. I don't want to know about the advantages of DHCP, the static IPs are not my decision, and I don't have the authority to change it. I am looking for an API or a technique to detect the VPN user.
