Configuring A New User For Automatic Login And Connection - Digi PortServer II User Manual

Configuring a new user for automatic login and connection

PortServer II includes automatic login and connection options, which are described in
Chapter 6, Configuring Security. The following procedure describes how to create a
user who is automatically connected to a server:
1. Create the new user and set the password, as described in the previous section.
2. Configure the user for automatic connection and enter the destination host, using
the following commands:
set user name=<user_name> AutoConnect=Yes
set user name=<user_name> AutoHost=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set user name=<user_name> AutoPort=xx
set user name=<user_name> DefaultAccess=AutoConnect
For example, to configure user "Peter" as an auto user, who is automatically con-
nected to the destination host corporate that we defined in step 2, enter the fol-
lowing sequence of commands:
#>set user name=Peter AutoConnect=Yes
#>set user name=Peter AutoHost=152.83.151.1
#>set user name=Peter AutoPort=telnet
#>set user name=Peter DefaultAccess=AutoConnect
Setting AutoPort is necessary to establish a terminal session with the host. The
example configures a telnet-type session, and Peter will be asked to log in again
when the connection to corporate is established. If you specify an Rlogin
session, Peter will automatically be logged in to corporate if his login on
corporate is the same user name as his PortServer II login. You can also set
AutoPort=Default to use the user's default protocol or raw (no modification
to data passing between the serial port and the TCP stream).
