System user: The system user to which the external user name is mapped. *NONE* will be displayed if no
system user is mapped.
Auth method: The authentication method that was applied to authenticate the SSH user.
Cipher: the encryption algorithm used on the SSH session.
Mac: the message authentication algorithm used on the SSH session.
Compression: Shows if data is compressed on the SSH session.
Executed program: Shows any program started by an SSH2 process on that #window. The field is empty at the
time of application startup, and is managed by STN (dynamic services) or externally (static windows).
INPUT_TIMEOUT <minutes>
INPUT_TIMEOUT allows for automatic termination of sessions that have been inactive for an extended time. This
improves security and releases resources used by idle connections.
INPUT_TIMEOUT 0, the default, disables the timeout. Sessions will not be terminated due to inactivity.
INPUT_TIMEOUT <timeout> can specify a time in minutes, in the range 3-14400 (3 minutes to 10 days). When the
terminal is inactive for the specified length of time, the session is terminated.
The timer is always reset by terminal input (keyboard activity).
Note that for 6530 terminals which usually operate in line mode or in full screen (block) mode, simply typing a single
character may not result in any transmission. To reset the timer, it may be necessary to use ENTER or a 6530 function
key.
The timer can also be set by output activity from the application. If OUTPUT_RESET is set to Y, then application output
will reset the timer the same as keyboard input. For example, an application that displays periodic output like an EMS
console, would never timeout as long as it performed output at least once every INPUT_TIMEOUT minutes. If
OUTPUT_RESET is set to N, then application output does not reset the timer, and keyboard input is required before
INPUT_TIMEOUT expires.
If IDLE_WARNING is set to a non-zero value, then a warning message will be displayed once a minute when the
terminal is idle, and fewer than IDLE_WARNING minutes remain until INPUT_TIMEOUT expires. The following
message appears:
STN35 **WARNING** Terminal will be disconnected if it stays idle...
If terminal activity occurs after this warning, the timer is reset and the session continues. If the terminal is still idle when
INPUT_TIMEOUT expires, then the following message appears:
STN36 Terminal was idle too long! Disconnecting...
This message will be displayed for approximately 10 seconds, then the session is disconnected.
The exact format of the STN35 and STN36 messages depends on the terminal type and mode:
6530 block mode
6530 conversational
ANSI
See also: BANNER_TIMEOUT, OUTPUT_RESET, and IDLE_WARNING.
BANNER_TIMEOUT and INPUT_TIMEOUT can be used individually or in combination.
