Assigning users to a specific subsystem

This topic section discusses several techniques that can be used for assigning device names and then associating those device names with users. After this is accomplished, you can use the workstation entries to get the user to the correct subsystem.

• Telnet device initialization and terminal exit points
  Telnet Device Initialization and Terminal Exit Points. These exit points provide the ability to assign device names based upon the client signing on to the system.
• Device selection exit point
  This exit point allows you to specify the naming convention used for automatically created virtual devices and virtual controllers and to specify the automatic creating limit used for the special requests.
• PC5250 (iSeries Access) workstation ID support
  You can configure iSeries™ Access to connect with a specific workstation name. If you click the help button from this window, the various options for specifying the workstation ID, like generating a new name if the one specified is already in use, are displayed.
• OS/400 Telnet Client
  Using the OS/400^® Telnet Client command (STRTCPTELN or TELNET), you can specify the device name that is used to sign on to the server system.
• Manually create virtual controllers and devices
  You can manually create your virtual controllers and devices.
