Controlling the Login Process

CA ControlMinder provides two types of login protection: by terminal, and by application. Using the TERMINAL class, you can establish which users can log in from which terminals or hosts.

Note: For more information about the TERMINAL class, see the Reference Guide.

You can also control which user or group can log in using a certain login application (such as telnet, ftp, and rlogin) with the LOGINAPPL class. By establishing the access rules of the class, you define specific rules for each login application. For instance, you can define rules that permit all users to ftp to your host, a limited number of users to telnet to your system, and no one to rlogin to the system. Each record in the LOGINAPPL class defines access rules for a specific login application.
