Autoconnect User Login; Auto-Connection Of Any User On One Or More Ports - Digi PortServer II User Manual

Autoconnect User Login

An Autoconnect User is always connected to a specified host or system, regardless of
the port or terminal that the user logs in from. An auto-connected user cannot ever
escape to the PortServer II command line, run multiple sessions, or connect to a sys-
tem other than the one configured for automatic connection.
To create auto-connect users, you must log in as root. You can then create three
types of auto-connect users:

Auto-connection of any user on one or more ports

In this configuration, one or more ports may be configured to allow any user to log in
at any time without a login or password. Any user can gain access to the PortServer II
command line prompt. The configuration is only suitable for systems where security is
not a major concern or if there is no possibility of unauthorized dial-up access.
To configure this mode of operation, configure the port or ports on which you want to
allow access by any user, by entering the following command:
set login range=<port_numbers> login=off passwd=off
For example:
set login range=1-4 login=off passwd=off
This example allows any user access on ports 1 through 4.
