AS/400 Connection

The AS/400 Connection can both be configured with global settings as well as with DID specific settings. The following listing describes the available settings.

AS/400 Connection specific settings

The following settings are available:

Setting	Default	Description
Address	-	The IP address or name, including an optional port number of the AS/400. Format: myhost.mydomain[:port].
UserId	-	The UserId for the AS/400 login process. The optional UserId command-line parameter takes precedence. If neither is available, ITP presents a login dialog box to the user. Use the special value USER to configure unified logon. If this functionality is used, the password will not be checked on the AS/400. To be able to use unified logon the daemon has to be started on the AS/400 with the option CHKPWD(NO). Note If a user can create a userprofile that exists on the AS/400 and uses this userprofile to log on to Windows, he or she can still have unwanted access to AS/400 data files.
Password	-	The Password for the AS/400 login process. The optional Password command-line parameter takes precedence. If neither is available, ITP presents a login dialog box to the user.
PasswordLevel	0	Starting from OS/400 V5R1M0, case sensitive passwords with a length of up to 128 characters are supported. On the AS/400 system, the Password level needs to be set in the QPWDLVL system value. The value entered there must be entered as PasswordLevel in the Connection Configuration window's AS/400 tab. The default level, 0, complies with earlier versions of the OS/400: passwords cannot have more than 10 characters and they are case insensitive.
LIBL	Empty	The library list to be set on the AS/400. It takes precedence over the library list specified in the DID file in the DID download program.
Codepage		With this setting it is possible to overrule the codepage retrieved from the AS/400. Refer to The General tab for more settings for AS/400 codepages.

AS/400 system (Address)

The format used for the name of AS/400 system to connect to is:

host[:port]

Where 'host' is the name or the dotted decimal TCP/IP address of the AS/400 and port is the optional port number or service name for a port number that the AS/400 ITP daemon is listening to. The default port is 10042. You need not specify a port, unless you start the daemon on the AS/400 with another port than the default.

Examples:

10.0.0.1

10.0.88.1:10042

10.88.0.1:10043

10.0.0.1:itp

myhost

myhost.mydomain

myhost.mydomain:10043

myhost.mydomain:itp

When you specify a host name, you must make sure that the TCP/IP name resolution process can resolve this name. TCP/IP must find the associated dotted decimal address, either by using a DNS or by using a local hosts file. When you specify a port name you must make sure that TCP/IP will be able to resolve the service name (i.e. find the associated port number). It usually does so by looking it up in the local services file (in the windows directory).
