Journaling Additions

The journal facilities allow lockout for specific users or terminals when excessive incorrect passwords are entered. In an SSI complex, journaling is extended to be an attribute of the complex, rather than an attribute of one member. Any lockout is applied to reject logon attempts from any member after the incorrect password limit is exceeded on the same or a different member. The incorrect attempt counts are known and accumulated across all members in the complex.

Journal entries for terminals on a non-SSI system are identified by the unique device address of the terminal. On an SSI complex, the same terminal address might be used on different member systems to identify completely different terminals. Journal entries for the SSI environment add the member system node name to the journal entry to uniquely identify a specific terminal.
