Environment

NetIQ Security Solutions for iSeries 8.0

PSSecure 8.0

Inactive Session Monitor (ISM)

Situation

Since upgrading to IBM OS V5R4, ISM is not ending sessions according to my setup.

ISM is no longer ending sessions immediately when it reaches my Timing Parameter set to "I" via menu Option 6 Display/Change System Parameters

Resolution

Contact Technical Support to obtain a workaround for this issue.

PTF 1S03004 resolves a similar issue for sessions not timing out after reaching maximum allowed period of inactivity and should be applied for version 8.0.  See NETIQKB54324

 




Cause

Due to a change in the IBM OS, this function is not working as intended.

Additional Information

Formerly known as NETIQKB56119

The "I" timing parameter as used by menu options 3  Change Workstation Exclusions or 4  Change User Profile Exclusions, functions properly if PTF 1S03004 is applied
