General Connections and user interface updates

The following lists several changes in this area.

• Several context menu option actions are on secondary context menus, such as:

  My Connection ->Connections to Servers -> Add a new connection

• The menu bar Options menu item list on many windows is now accessed by menu bar View and secondary context menus. For example, the Work Management Active Jobs right pane control for specifying what jobs to include or columns of data to display are now accessed via View -> Customize this view -> Sort/Include/Columns/Auto Refresh.

• When defining a new connection there is an additional “sign on option” - to use a Kerberos principal name. You need to have your iSeries configured in a Kerberos network (typically used to implement a single sign on to a network of multiple computers and operating systems).

  You can review Information Center articles (search word “kerberos”). Kerberos capabilities originated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US. Kerberos specifications are in the public domain. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) formally defines the Kerberos protocol in Request for Comments 1510.

• You can customize your own Task Pad area in the bottom pane area of a window.
