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.
