Configuring a User for Autoconnection: Command Line

This section describes how to configure a user for autoconnection.

Procedure

This procedure deals with autoconnection features only. It assumes that you have or will configure

The port for modem connections (see Chapter 5) or terminal connections (see Chapter 6)

Other user attributes (see the set user command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Refer- ence)

To configure a user to automatically connect to a host, supply a set user command that specifies the following:

set user name=user-nameports=ports autoconnect=on autohost=ip-addressautoport=tcp-portdefaultaccess=autoconnect

where

user-nameis the name of the user

ports is the ports this user can use

ip-addressis the IP address of the host to which the user will be connected

tcp-portis the TCP port to use for connections

Example

In this example, a user is configured for autoconnection using telnet to the host specified. Because the password field is not specified, the default (password=on) requires that the user supply a password before the connection is made.

set user name=user4 autoconnect=on autohost=199.193.150.10 autoport=23 defaultaccess=autoconnect
