The java client is third party (open source). I've emailed the authors and they aren't willing to adjust the source because of the ramifications which might affect others. The client has 2 options: telnet (23) and SSH (22). We use the SSH option for clients that don't allow outbound telnet. Another point: The HTTP server isn't the same server as our business system. The SSH server isn't the same one as our HTTP server, so 3 different servers in our network handle the calls depending on the access point/method. > > Or possibly setup two telnet ports, and only download the second > telnet port applet to those you want to no logout as fast.

Because we allow our clients acces through whatever telnet client they want to use, changing the port wouldn't really help because they wouldn't know where to change to port or how. Changing the java port isn't an option. > > George > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 12:53 PM >>To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org >>Subject: [U2] Identification Challenge >> >> >>We are a small company (42 UV licenses) and so use AUTOLOGOUT >>on sessions >>based on importance.
