Green Screen Username/Password Prompt

This option causes Green Screen telnet connects to the kernel to be prompted for a username and password. The username and password are then processed, the same as for GUI Clients (including Win32 validation if the options in New Username/Password validation is used).

Three settings in the Windows\pro4v[n].ini [Environment] section are required:

USERNAME_PROMPT=y

USERNAME_TIMEOUT=<timeout value>

USERNAME_DEFAULT=<username>

Once a valid username and password are entered, PROIV starts. (The username is mapped to an operator ID using the [user username] INI section. Transparent Logon works if set for the operator ID using $OPR).

The default for the USERNAME_PROMPT is no prompt (disable the functionality).

can be used to set inactivity timeout in seconds for reads. Default is 30 seconds, 0=none.

is used to set a default username to be used if USERNAME_PROMPT is disabled.
