Click here if you want to configure a server that uses advanced features. These advanced features include:
Multiple TN3270 ports
IETF defines port 23 as the well-known TN3270 port. This is the default setting for TN3270 clients. You may want to use other ports. It is a common practice to use port 23 as a basic non-SSL port and define an additional port for clients connecting across the internet, who require SSL security protection.
SSL security
If you have clients that connect over the internet, you may need to use the SSL security. This provides encryption, data authentication and client certificate authentication functions.
TN3270 printer support
If you have TN3270 clients that are printers you can configure the server to support them.
Default specific pools
You can configure the server to allow TN3270 clients to be assigned to a specific LU, when they connect to the server. Clients must be configured to request assignment to a specific LU.
Client identifiers
The TN3270 server provides sophisticated and flexible settings to allow certain clients assignment to specific LUs
and applications, while other groups of clients are assigned to other specific LUs and applications.
You define a client identifier to match specific client
characteristics and you assign the SNA LUs and application access to the client identifier. When a client connects,
the server matches the client to a client identifier and applies the client identifier's LUs and application to the
connecting client.
For example, you can define a client identifier as a group of client IP addresses. You then assign specific LUs
and specific application access to this client identifier. When a client connects, the server understands the
client's IP address and determines that it matches one of the addresses in the defined group of client IP addresses.
The server then uses one of the LUs and the application access assigned to this
client identifier when establishing the connection for the client.
