AS/400 Security
Seve
I've been given a project to capture invalid sign-on attempts and produce a
report of where the sign-on attempt was made and the user profile used.
Normally I would normally use the security audit journal, however, we are
using TN5250 to connect to an AS/400 running V3R7M0 and we can't tie a
device description (QPADEVxxx) to an IP address. The journal doesn't
capture IP Addresses, which means I can't track down the PC where the
voilation occured, only the QPADEVxx device, which could have been picked
up any where in the country.
I know the API I need to use to retreive the IP address, but there is no
point in adding a routing entry to the subsystem as the routing step only
occurs once the user has successfully signed-on. I need to capture any
invalid attempt and where it occured.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Steve

There should be an exit program you can write. If you do a wrkreginf it
will show you exit points and allow you to apply exit programs. I beleive
your version has an exit point for telnet if that is what your tn5250
application is using. QIBM_QZSO_SIGNONSRV is the exit point for tcp signon
to the server. You application may use it or may not. client access does
for it's 5250 application.

You can do a DSPUSRPRF *ALL *BASIC into an outfile and one of the pieces
of info will be number of invalid sign on attemps. Might be a place to
start

Steve:
Why don't you try the "named-devices" of TN5250? Pls take into the account
that you won't be 100% sure if the invalid attempt came from the intented IP
( someone could have changed the ws profile ). Pls do a search on previous
posting that describes the how-to ( originally it was intented to run on
V4R2 but I think that there are PTF's for V4R1 )

Steve,
Our Telnet security product will keep an audit log of access attempts.
It captures the IP address and other information. You can get more
information on our web site:
Hope this helps!

We track all access and invalid sign-on attempts with a package from
PentaSafe. It has the reporting you're looking for. I think you can still
get a demo from their website.

Well I looked at a prodcut called Patrol/400 it does TONS of reports and
yo can define your own as well. The people showed me how to set it up to
monitor pasthrough's as well. (since we have people passing through our
system using STRPASTHR alot).

Golly Paul, don't you still work for PentaSafe ? I would hope you
use your own product for tracking.
