Title: Temporarily Disable Lid Users
Description: Security - Lock Out / Diable User Access


Logan - January 20, 2006 08:26 PM (GMT)
Hi All,

Does anyone know of a way to lock out the majority of the LID users that would prevent them from accessing the system through both the portal and lid for a period of time?

We would like to be able to lock them out in a relatively short period of time, with minimal manual intervention if possible. We will then need to give them access back after a period of time.

We can't turn off the ports, because they are used for other things. Are there any table level changes that could be performed through Logan? At the database level?

Thanks for any advice.

Ok, I see schroncd has a script on his site. Any other suggestions to provide to the team.

what do you mean by Majority of users. It's usually all users.

For Portal, just stoplarmi. This will disable Portal access.

For LID, why couldn't you just change the port #. Stoplaw/startlaw, do your maintenance, then change the port back, bounce lawson again and you're done.

My guess is that Logan wants to lock out most users while allowing admins and a small rest group to maintain access. That's exactly what my lock_env and unlock_env scripts do. The scripts manipulate the GEN/USERS file - which requires bouncing Lawson when the tables are modified.

Thanks for your help - we'll give it a wack!
