You use the logon screen banner feature to display messages that are relevant for all
users when they log on.
Limiting Logon Attempts Use the SYSPARMS PWRETRY command to specify the number of failed logons a user
is allowed before a warning is sent to all monitor-class terminals. Specify PWRETRY
as an integer from 1 through 10. You can set the PWRETRY operand only during
execution of the INIT NCL procedure. Add the following line to the INIT NCL
procedure:
CMD "SYSPARMS PWRETRY=3"
The default value is 2. When a user exceeds the specified limit, the user receives only
the standard message displayed on the NonStop NET/MASTER MS logon screen:
NNM1234 SECURITY CHECK FAILED
NonStop NET/MASTER MS sends a warning message to both the activity log and all
terminals capable of receiving monitor-class messages. The message includes the user
ID and the terminal involved.
Setting System-Wide
OCS Window
Attributes
Using NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands, you can change many system-wide
attributes of the OCS window.
Setting Contention Delay OCS windows can receive either solicited or unsolicited output at any time. If
NonStop NET/MASTER MS is trying to write output to the OCS window while a user
is entering information at the keyboard, a contention condition exists. The window
normally does not accept output until the the user has finished typing.
On IBM 3270 or compatible terminals, NonStop NET/MASTER MS breaks the
contention condition if it continues for more than the value specified by the
SYSPARMS command’s CDELAY operand. When the contention is broken, the output
is then forced to the window. Forcing the output interrupts keyboard input and
prevents further input until all output is displayed.
Specify CDELAY in seconds as an integer from 0 through 300. For example, to set the
contention delay to 20 seconds, issue the following command:
SYSPARMS CDELAY=20
The default is 15 seconds.
Setting an OCS Window
Time Display
Use the OCSTIME operand of the SYSPARMS command to specify whether the OCS
window displays the current time at the top left-hand side of its title line. Specify
OCSTIME as either YES or NO. When set to NO, the OCS window does not display
the time. The default value is YES, which displays the time.
Changing the OCS Window
Title
Use the TITLE command to set the title displayed on the top line of the OCS window.
You can change the title from its default, OPERATOR CONTROL SERVICES, to
another title of your choosing. You can create a title of up to 72 characters.
