D3 User

Automate the D3 login from Linux and AIX. Once a user logs in they get sent immediately to Pick, logged in and right to their menu. Safer than turnkey ports. Supports both telnet and ssh. Supports port ranges associated with Userids.

It is better to use the standard Linux or AIX login mechanism because it is secure. Operating systems can log the time and date, supports IP address range blocking and lockout failed passwords.

Features

• Easily create/delete users in Linux or AIX without having to know the commands.
• Supports port ranges associated with a userid. If one is busy it tries the next port number.
• Auto logoff can be enabled so it logs off a busy port instead of trying the next available port. Useful for stuck ports. This is known as "steal port" or "clear port".
• Supports telnet and ssh. This is good for allowing the operating system to deny access by IP and log all attempts. It is also good for operating systems that can lockout after a certain number of failed passwords.
• Supports an optional menu to pick a port from. This menu can have a name instead of a port number. This is helpful if certain pick ports are geared toward certain terminal types or certain printers.
• Supports a mechanism to synchronise pick and Linux/AIX users and passwords if you wish.
• Allows for different port ranges when inside the LAN or outside the WAN.
• Supports limiting pick ports by IP address.
