IBM i Security Telnet Session Timeout

A flexible policy for forcing session timeouts in native green screen application sessions

Architecture

Management of session timeout events through a proprietary system of users and groups and operating system parameters

Highlights

• Different session timeout criteria for different user groups (as opposed to "one size fits all" option provided in the operating system)
• System defaults for users without specific definitions
• Specification of specific idle time
• Specification of action to take when timeout occurs
• Optional sending of messages to the system administrator

Organizational Benefits

• Allows the organization to easily implement important security best practices, which would otherwise be highly time consuming tasks
• Meeting of regulatory compliance requirements (GDPR and others)
