Telnet Locking Feature

One of the BlueZone Features that can be locked is called SESSIONLOCK.  This will lock all the settings in Session:Configure.  By enabling this lock setting, your End Users will not be able to change any settings in any of the associated BlueZone session configuration dialogs, including the TN3270/TN3270E Telnet settings.

However as an option, it is possible to lock BlueZone's Telnet features on a more granular basis.  For example, you may have a situation where you want to allow your End User's to be able to change certain Telnet settings but not others.

This can be accomplished by using the Telnet Locking feature.  The Telnet Locking feature is similar to BlueZone Emulator Feature locking.

To lock one or more Telnet features, take a look at the Telnet Feature Lock Table and locate the desired feature or features that you wish to lock.

To lock a single feature, simply enter the value of the desired feature in the LockTelnet= value.

For example, if you want to lock the Keep Alive Tab configuration settings, you place the value of 16 as shown here in red:

[BZSetup]
Lock=0
LockFTP=0
LockTelnet=16

To lock multiple features, add the values of the desired features together and enter that sum in the LockTelnet= value.

For example, if you want to lock the Device Tab and Certificate Tab configuration settings, you add the value of  2 and the value of 8 together for a total of 10 as shown here in red:

[BZSetup]
Lock=520
LockFTP=0
LockTelnet=10

NOTE  When you use the Telnet Locking feature, any tab that you have set for locking, will no longer be displayed in the Telnet Properties dialog.  In other words, when is tab is locked, is disappears.

CAUTION!  Do not use either the LOCKALLCONFIG ( Lock=-1) or the SESSIONLOCK (Lock=64) settings in conjunction with the Telnet Locking feature.  Using either of these settings, will make it impossible for your End Users to access BlueZone's Telnet settings which will defeat the features purpose.
