DOCUMENT:Q313693 07-DEC-2001 [sna] TITLE :3270 Client (Win3270.exe) Doesn't Enforce User/Group Assignments PRODUCT :Microsoft SNA Server PROD/VER:: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbhis2000 kbhis2000bug ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== The 3270 client (Win3270.exe) allows a user to open multiple 3270 sessions even though only a single instance of a 3270 logical Unit (LU) pool is assigned to the user/group record in the Host Integration Server (HIS) 2000 configuration. CAUSE ===== The 3270 client was not updated to enforce user/group assignments after it was enhanced to support multiple 3270 sessions. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000. MORE INFORMATION ================ If a single instance of a 3270 LU pool is assigned to a user or group, the user should be restricted to opening a single 3270 session. To grant access to multiple pooled 3270 sessions, an HIS 2000 administrator can assign multiple instances of the 3270 LU pool to the user or group. This problem has been observed with some third-party emulators, as described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article: Q158775 3270 Emulator Fails to Enforce SNA User/Group Assignments Additional query words: ====================================================================== Keywords : kbhis2000 kbhis2000bug Technology : kbAudDeveloper kbHostIntegServ2000 Version : : Issue type : kbbug Solution Type : kbnofix ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
