2. Figure 3-2 shows the dialog box the first time iSeries Access for Web is started from a new

browser session.

Displayed in the dialog box is the Site and Realm. iSeries Access for Web considers the

system name as the Realm.

Enter a valid iSeries user ID and password. This user ID and password are sent to the

server using encoded text. Encoded text is not secure. HTTPS provides a secure transfer

of text by encrypting the data. We recommend you use HTTPS if you are using iSeries

Access for Web over the Internet. System values QMAXSIGN and QMAXSGNACN are

enforced.

Figure 3-2 Browser dialog box

The iSeries Access for Web sign on is active until the browser is closed. If a user ID

prompt is displayed, a new session has started. Multiple sessions may be started and

different profiles may be used for the connection attempt. Each additional session requires

an additional license. For example, two Internet Explorer connections result in using two

licenses.

Note: Replace

systemname

with the name of your iSeries. If HTTP is configured for a

non-standard port, you must specify

systemname:port
