FORWARD SWITCH, BACKWARD SWITCH
The characters you specify in FORW·ARD SWITCH and BACKWARD
SWITCH allow the user, in service Dlode, to transfer between two service ses-
sions. The FORWARD SWITCH character activates the "next" session. This is
the second session from the top in the SHOW SESSIONS display. The
BACKWARD SWITCH character activates the "previous" session; the session
at the bottom of the SHOW SESSIONS list.
If
there are only two sessions in
effect, both characters restart the noncurrent session.
Choose separate characters for each iQf the switches. Do not select characters
that the terminal user is likely to enter routinely while using a service. The
user interrupts the current session when he or she presses a switch character.
Undefined control characters such as [CTRL/D] are recommended for these
switch characteristics.
The default for these switch characters is NONE.
2.7.5 Port Administration Characteristics
A number of port characteristics affect the day-to-day administration of a port.
PASSWORD
PASSWORD is an important security tool. This characteristic is a privileged
command parameter. It permits you to require that a terminal user enter a
password to gain access to server functions. LOGIN ENABLED permits access
only with a password. LOGIN DISABLED permits access without a password.
You specify the password using the DEFINE LOGIN PASSWORD command
(see Section 2.3, SETTING UP THE LOGIN PASSWORD). LOGIN is disabled
by default to simplify MUXserver 100 installation.
It
should be enabled for nor-
mal use in environments where security is important.
USERNAME
Each terminal user normally enters a user name at login. His or her user name
is any string of 1 to 12 keyboard characters. Alternatively, you can specify it
with the USERNAME port characteristic. The default for USERNAME is the
value for the terminal NAME characteristic.
A terminal user can, for convenience, enter [CTRL/Z] after the user name
prompt at login. His or her user nam.e then defaults to the value for the port's
NAME characteristic.
