Beverly:
AccuTerm "Internet Explorer" edition maintains a single configuration
and script file. Users download and install the base AccuTerm
applicatioin when connecting to a web server. All users use the same
configuration and login script (or whatever script you run), so
there's no need to worry about client changes to anything
(configuration settings or login script).

Thanks for your input, Tony. I almost always find your responses to
the list to be thought-provoking.
I think for this project (converting greenbar reports to screen or
exports) I'm going to go with the "hard way" approach. The "easy way"
is interesting, but much more complex to set up than the "hard way".
I'm not even certain that Viaduct supports login scripting. It
probably does, but I've not looked at it for much beyond data
import/export scripting.
If I understand how the "easy way" would work, the user would ask for
a new connection/login from the emulator. In response, the emulator
runs a script, prompting for userid, password, then passing it to the
server. Once the user is logged in, the emulator's script would be
able to call it's own specific "programX" which would store emulator
type for that session. U2 would record the emulator type and then
execute a logto into the regular "MAIN" account, which would then
execute it's own LOGIN script. The emulator type would have to be
stored under a unique id specific to that user/port id and/or process
id to allow for multiple logins.
Do people using login scripts with their emulators add auditing for
changes of the scripts on each PC to their internal security scans?
It would seem to be an ideal place for an unscrupulous someone to
insert a password capture routine. No, a better, more secure
approach would be to put the login script on the network, and have
the emulator run the centralized (and audited) script. How you
lockdown the emulator settings to only use the centralized script is
another exercise.
