Automated Sign-On
Automated Sign-On enables an end user to automatically log on to a host application using a Micro Focus terminal emulation client. A separate license and additional configuration is required.
Settings must be configured in different locations:
- Management and Security Server (MSS) — to enable the service, secure the server connections, and manage user access
- the terminal emulation client — to create the login macro and configure the client
- the host — to support the use of one-time passwords
To enable and configure Automated Sign-On
-
Check the box to enable the Automated Sign-On settings for your host type.
If the checkbox is disabled, the activation file needs to be installed. See Install an Activation File for an Additional Product.
