Configuring the Telnet locking feature

If locking all of the BlueZone session configuration settings through the SESSIONLOCK feature is too restrictive, you can use the Telnet locking feature to hide the Telnet Configuration window tabs that you do not want your users to access.

For example, you can allow your users’ to change the Connections and the Device settings but none of the other Telnet settings.

  1. Open the BlueZone Desktop installation source directory.
  2. Open the setup.ini file in a text editor.
  3. Determine the Telnet configuration features that you want to lock. Refer to Telnet feature locks for the list of features and their values.
  4. To hide a single feature, type the value of the feature in the LockTelnet= value.
    For example, if you want to hide the Security tab, set the LockTelnet= to 4:
    [BZSetup]
    LockTelnet=4
  5. To hide multiple features, add the values of the features together and type the sum in the LockTelnet= value.
    For example, if you want to hide the Firewall and Security Server tabs, add the value of 64 and 128 together and set the LockTelnet= to 192:
    [BZSetup]
    LockTelnet=192
  6. Save and close the file.
CAUTION:
Do not use the LOCKALLCONFIG ( Lock=-1) or the SESSIONLOCK (Lock=64) settings in conjunction with the Telnet locking feature. Using either of these settings makes it impossible for your users to access the BlueZone Telnet settings which defeats the purpose of the feature.
