The 5250 emulator has been enhanced to allow customers to store an unlimited number of screens in its Screen History repository. If customers already have an SSH client installed on their computers, ACS will automatically detect it and use it. This release also brings a new SSH client emulator, which should boost the security of clients working in industries where Secure Shell (SSH) encryption has already become a standard. You can now automatically store an unlimited of screen captures in ACS.
Users working from the 5250 shell also get a new option to check for updates. There is also an option to enable SSL by default (and presumably this extends to SSL’s replacement, TLS, as well). For starters, IBM says it has added an option to disable end users from being able to accept “trusted” signers. Some of the big changes revolve around security. Big Blue says it added “many requested updates and enhancements” from the IBM i user community with ACS version 1.1.7.1. IBM bolstered ACS with the October announcements that were centered around IBM i 7.2 TR7 and IBM i 7.3 TR3. The Java-based product, which IBM unveiled back in August 2012, bundles a bunch of useful goodies into a single product, including a 5250 emulator, 5250 printer emulation, data transfer capabilities, IFS file viewing, spool file management, and a virtual console for LAN and HMC management. But one should not overlook the new stuff coming to IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS), including changes to the 5250 emulator, extensions for database access, and security enhancements.ĪCS, in case you forgot, is the new go-to client interface that administrators, developers, engineers, and power users alike can use for handling a range of IBM i tasks. Last month’s Technology Refreshes for IBM i 7.2 and 7.3 brought a number of enhancements to the operating system and the database.
