Discussion
NSCONTROL AUTOLOGON allows the user the ability to disable and re-enable
autologon for the NS3000/iX services supporting this feature. Autologon
is enabled at NS3000/iX startup. NSCONTROL AUTOLOGON must be executed
after the NSCONTROL START command. When the NS3000/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 NS3000/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.
