• Force Remote Logons
If the Force Remote Logons option is enabled, the system will not be able
to save the User ID/Password combinations that were used when
accessing remote systems. This will force you to manually log on each
time a remote system is accessed.
• Service Execution Alerts
If the Service Execution Alerts option is enabled, the Netfinity Manager
Service Manager will generate a Netfinity Manager alert whenever one of
the user’s Netfinity Manager services is started by a remote user. The alert
includes the name of the service that was run and information about the
user that started the service.
• Show Network Support
If the Show Network Support option is enabled, the Netfinity Manager
Support Program (or Network Interface) will be visible as a minimized
process in the Windows NT 4.0 task bar. This enables the user to shut
down the Netfinity Manager Support Program. If the Netfinity Manager
Support Program is to remain invisible to the user, do not enable this
option.
• Remote User Authorization for Screen Access
If the Remote User Authorization for Screen Access option is enabled, a
remote user cannot use either Remote Workstation Control or Screen
View on your system without your permission. When this option is
enabled and a remote user attempts to use one of these services on your
system, a window will pop up on your desktop alerting you that a remote
user is attempting to use the Remote Workstation Control or Screen View
service and asking whether you want to permit this user to use this
service on your system. You can click Yes or No. If you do not make a
selection within 15 seconds (for example, if you are not sitting at your
system when the access attempt is made), Netfinity Manager will
automatically prevent the remote user from using the service on your
system.
• Disable DNS Name Resolution
If the Disable DNS Name Resolution option is enabled, Netfinity
Manager will use only a numeric TCP/IP address (for example,
8.24.67.32) to communicate with remote systems and will not attempt to
resolve the numeric address into an alphanumeric, Domain Name Server
(DNS) address (for example, your.system.ibm.com). Select this option if
you are using Netfinity Manager is a WINS networking environment or if
you are using TCP/IP in an environment that does not have a Domain
Name Server.
To enable one or more of the available Netfinity Manager Options:
1) Click Options....
2) Select one or more Netfinity Manager options.
3) Click Save.
f. Set the Network Time-out Value (optional).
The Network Time-out field shows the number of seconds that Netfinity
Manager will attempt to communicate with a remote system that is not
responding. If Netfinity Manager does not establish contact with the remote
system within this time, it cancels the communication attempt. The Network
Time-out default setting is 15 seconds. This default setting might not need to
be altered.
