Note: These options are visible but dimmed when you connect to a session.

Standard encryption does not work with this host. 5250 In the TN5250 category, you can set general connection parameters that HostExplorer uses to connect to a TN5250 host through TCP/IP. CA Automation Point can use Plaintext or Elevated encryption. Password length can be up to 128 characters and are case sensitive. Elevated encryption does not work with this host.

The terminal emulation works on any local terminal supported by curses, and provides 132x27 and full colour support where possible. CA Automation Point can use Plaintext or Standard encryption. Description tn5250 emulates IBM's 5250 compatible terminals to connect over TCP/IP to an IBM AS/400. Attention Sends a Signal command to the mainframe computer. Alt Cursor The Alternate Cursor key sequence toggles the cursor type. Password length is restricted to 10 characters. TN5250 Host Key Descriptions The following host keys are supported for TN5250 terminal emulation. Possible returned values are: QPWDLVL 0 or 1 To query the current host value for QPWDLVL, issue the following i5/OS command: Note: To understand how Password Level effects your decision about which encryption to use for Auto Sign-on, see IBM's documentation on Password Level and QPWDLVL.
#Tn5250 host how to#
You decide how to encrypt the password by first determining how the i5/OS host has Password Level configured. Note: For a detailed description of these encryption algorithms, see section 5 of IBM document RFC 4777. Indicates that the password will be encrypted using the SHA encryption technique before it is sent to the i5/OS host. Indicates that the password will be encrypted using the DES* encryption technique before it is sent to the i5/OS host. Indicates that the password is sent in clear text (i.e., not encrypted) to the i5/OS host. In other words, changes made to these fields are applied immediately and do not require a restart of the Automation Point Desktop.Īuto Sign-on supports three different password encryption techniques: Plaintext Note: The user ID and password values specified on this dialgog are re-loaded from configuration every time CA Automation Point tries to connect to the session. In order to enable auto sign-on, check the Enable Auto Sign-on checkbox on the 5250 Session Settings dialog and specify at least a user ID and password. Also, several additional startup options (library name, menu name and initial program) and be specified that will run at sign-on time and take the screen directly to the given menu or run the given program. X Windows To use the emulator under X Windows, use the provided xt5250 shell script, which sets up a standard xterm (it will not work with an nxterm or an rxvt terminal). The purpose of this feature is to allow a login to bypass the I5/OS initial sign-on screen. IBM i5 (iSeries) Operating System's support a feature called "Auto Sign-On".

Many of the organizations we've worked with have felt this way, but the emulation software they've been depending on has likely been unchanged for 20+ years and they have been continually paying high annual maintenance fees. Updating your existing terminal emulator may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. FlexTerm Terminal Emulator for IBM Z (Mainframe) via TN3270, IBM i (Power Series or AS/400) via TN5250 and Open Systems (Unix/Linux) via VT, SCOANSI or WYSE Replace your outdated Micro Focus, Rocket Software, OpenText, IBM or other terminal emulation software for a fraction of what you are currently paying
