Does anybody have ( or know of ) a formula for implementing automatic logins
on LAT terminal lines? What I require is for a user on a terminal server to
specify
CONNECT xxxxxx
and then, without further interaction, be logged in to the host offering the
service xxxxxx and to execute the application program or procedure.
It can be done by using 'inverse LAT' on a terminal server port attached to
a 'real' terminal line but that wastes terminal server ports and the number
of simultaneous processes is limited by the number ( only 8 or, perhaps 0 )
on a 'standard' VAX 8700.
Three things might help.
(1) Can the name of the called service (xxxxxx) be extracted and checked at
login/process creation time?
(2) The ability to 'point' a service to a particular LAT terminal line
i.e. LTAnnn port.
(3) Pointing a service to a command procedure which could be executed before
normal LOGINOUT ( as is possible with DECNET,etc. ).
Thanks in advance to anyone with useful information,
John
