Abstract

LIC-INCORROUT IBM i NETSERVER GUEST ACCESS FAILS AFTER
INSTALLATION OF PTF

Error Description

NetServer Guest access fails after installation of NetServer    
PTF MF65468. IBM i NetServer guest access fails after          
installation of prior NetServer PTFs. Access via authenticated  
user sessions continue to work correctly.                      

Problem Summary

Please see the ERROR DESCRIPTION section.                      

Problem Conclusion

A security check to restrict IBM i NetServer access to          
authenticated sessions was too restrictive and prevented access
to valid guest sessions as well as malicious client activity.  
                                                               
The PTF corrects the check to allow guest access.              

Temporary Fix

Comments
