This document describes the interface to the Telnet server on IBM's iSeries line of midrange business computers. This interface allows Telnet clients to request a Telnet terminal or printer session using specific session attributes related to device names, encryption, language support, auto-sign-on, response codes, session association, etc. These support functions are implemented primarily using the Telnet Environment option negotiation RFC 1572 to define new USERVAR variables that will be recognized by iSeries Telnet server.

The iSeries Telnet server enables clients to negotiate both terminal and printer device names through Telnet Environment Options Negotiations [RFC1572]. This allows Telnet servers and clients to exchange environment information using a set of standard or custom variables. By using a combination of both standard VARs and custom USERVARs, the iSeries Telnet server allows client Telnet to request a pre-defined specific device by name. If no pre-defined device exists, then the device will be created, with client Telnet having the option to negotiate device attributes, such as the code page, character set, keyboard type, etc. Since printers can now be negotiated as a device name, new terminal types have been defined to request printers. For example, you can
now negotiate "IBM-3812-1" and "IBM-5553-B01" as valid TERMINAL-TYPE options [RFC1091]. Finally, the iSeries Telnet server will allow exchange of user profile and password information, where the password may be in either plain text or encrypted form. If a valid combination of profile and password is received, then the client is allowed to bypass the sign- on panel. The local server setting of the QRMTSIGN system value must be either *VERIFY or *SAMEPRF for the bypass of the sign-on panel to succeed.2. Standard Telnet Option Negotiation
Telnet server option negotiation [RFC855] typically begins with the issuance, by the server, of an invitation to engage in terminal type negotiation with the Telnet client (DO TERMINAL-TYPE) [RFC1091]. The client and server then enter into a series of sub-negotiations to determine the level of terminal support that will be used. After the terminal type is agreed upon, the client and server will normally negotiate a required set of additional options (EOR [RFC885], BINARY [RFC856], SGA [RFC858]) that are required to support "transparent mode" or full screen 5250/3270 block mode support. As soon as the required options have been negotiated, the server will suspend further negotiations and begin with initializing the actual virtual device on the iSeries. A typical exchange might start as follows: iSeries Telnet server Enhanced Telnet client -------------------------- ------------------------- IAC DO TERMINAL-TYPE --> <-- IAC WILL TERMINAL-TYPE IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND IAC SE --> IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS <-- IBM-5555-C01 IAC SE IAC DO EOR --> <-- IAC WILL EOR <-- IAC DO EOR IAC WILL EOR --> . . (other negotiations) .
Actual bytes transmitted in the above example are shown in hex below.

(other negotiations) .
Some negotiations are symmetrical between client and server, and some
are negotiated in one direction only. Also, it is permissible and
common practice to bundle more than one response or request, or to
combine a request with a response, so in practice the actual exchange
may look different from what is shown above.
3. Enhanced Telnet Option Negotiation
In order to accommodate the new environment option negotiations, the
server will bundle an environment option invitation along with the
standard terminal type invitation request to the client.
A client should either send a negative acknowledgment (WONT NEW-
ENVIRON), or at some point after completing terminal-type
negotiations, but before completing the full set of negotiations
required for 5250 transparent mode, engage in environment option
sub-negotiation with the server. A maximum of 1024 bytes of
environment strings may be sent to the server. A recommended
sequence might look like the following:
iSeries Telnet server Enhanced Telnet client
-------------------------- -------------------------

Telnet environment options defines 6 standard VARs: USER, JOB, ACCT,
PRINTER, SYSTEMTYPE, and DISPLAY. The USER standard VAR will hold
the value of the iSeries user profile name to be used in auto-sign-on
requests. The Telnet server will make no direct use of the
additional 5 VARs, nor are any of them required to be sent. All
standard VARs and their values that are received by the Telnet server
will be placed in a buffer, along with any USERVARs received
(described below), and made available to a registered initialization
exit program to be used for any purpose desired.
There are some reasons you may want to send NEW-ENVIRON negotiations
prior to TERMINAL-TYPE negotiations. With an iSeries Telnet server,
several virtual device modes can be negotiated: 1) VTxxx device, 2)
3270 device, and 3) 5250 device (includes Network Station). The
virtual device mode selected depends on the TERMINAL-TYPE negotiated
plus any other Telnet option negotiations necessary to support those
modes. The iSeries Telnet server will create the desired virtual
device at the first opportunity it thinks it has all the requested
attributes needed to create the device. This can be as early as completion of the TERMINAL-TYPE negotiations. For the case of Transparent mode (5250 device), the moment TERMINAL- TYPE, BINARY, and EOR options are negotiated, the Telnet server will go create the virtual device. Receiving any NEW-ENVIRON negotiations after these option negotiations are complete will result in the NEW- ENVIRON negotiations having no effect on device attributes, as the virtual device will have already been created. So, for Transparent mode, NEW-ENVIRON negotiations are effectively closed once EOR is negotiated, since EOR is generally the last option done. For other devices modes (such as VTxxx or 3270), you cannot be sure when the iSeries Telnet server thinks it has all the attributes to create the device. Recall that NEW-ENVIRON negotiations are optional, and therefore the iSeries Telnet server need not wait for any NEW-ENVIRON options prior to creating the virtual device. It is in the clients' best interest to send NEW-ENVIRON negotiations as soon as possible, preferably before TERMINAL-TYPE is negotiated. That way, the client can be sure that the requested attributes were received before the virtual device is created.4. Enhanced Display Emulation Support
Telnet environment option USERVARs have been defined to allow a compliant Telnet client more control over the Telnet server virtual device on the iSeries and to provide information to the Telnet server about the client. These USERVARs allow the client Telnet to create or select a previously created virtual device. If the virtual device does not exist and must be created, then the USERVAR variables are used to create and initialize the device attributes. If the virtual device already exists, the device attributes are modified.
The USERVARs defined to accomplish this are:
USERVAR VALUE EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
-------- ---------------- -------------- -------------------
DEVNAME us-ascii char(x) MYDEVICE07 Display device name
KBDTYPE us-ascii char(3) USB Keyboard type
CODEPAGE us-ascii char(y) 437 Code page
CHARSET us-ascii char(y) 1212 Character set
IBMSENDCONFREC us-ascii char(3) YES | NO Startup Response
Record desired
IBMASSOCPRT us_ascii char(x) RFCPRT Printer associated
with display
device
x - up to a maximum of 10 characters
y - up to a maximum of 5 characters
For a description of the KBDTYPE, CODEPAGE, and CHARSET parameters
and their permissible values, refer to Chapter 8 in the
Communications Configuration Reference [COMM-CONFIG] and also to
Appendix C in National Language Support [NLS-SUPPORT].
The CODEPAGE and CHARSET USERVARs must be associated with a KBDTYPE
USERVAR. If either CODEPAGE or CHARSET are sent without KBDTYPE,
they will default to system values. A default value for KBDTYPE can
be sent to force CODEPAGE and CHARSET values to be used.
iSeries system objects such as device names, user profiles, plain
text passwords, programs, libraries, etc., are required to be
specified in English uppercase. This includes:
any letter (A-Z), any number (0-9), special characters (# $ _ @)
Therefore, where us-ascii is specified for VAR or USERVAR values, it
is recommended that uppercase ASCII values be sent, which will be
converted to Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC)
by the Telnet server.
A special case occurs for encrypted passwords (described in the next
section), where both the initial password and user profile used to
build the encrypted password must be EBCDIC English uppercase, in
order to be properly authenticated by the Telnet server.
The IBMASSOCPRT USERVAR is used to provide the device name of a
printer that will be associated with the display device that is
created. The device description of the printer name provided must
currently exist on the Telnet server system. The IBMSENDCONFREC
USERVAR is used by the enhanced Telnet client to inform the Telnet
server that a display Startup Response Record should be sent to the client. This record communicates the name of the actual display device acquired. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the reason code will be set to provide additional information on why the attempt failed. In addition to the device name and reason code, the Startup Response Record will contain the name of the Telnet server system. For more details on the Startup Response Record, see Section 11 of this document.5. Enhanced Display Auto-Sign-On and Password Encryption
To allow password encryption, new IBMRSEED and IBMSUBSPW USERVARs will be used to exchange seed and substitute passwords information. IBMRSEED will carry a random seed to be used in both the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) password encryption, and IBMSUBSPW will carry the encrypted copy of the password. The DES encryption would use the same 7-step DES-based password substitution scheme as APPC and Client Access. For a description of DES encryption, refer to Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS) 46-2 [FIPS-46-2] and 81 [FIPS-81]. The SHA encryption is described in Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 180-1 [FIPS-180-1]. The FIPS documents can be found at the Federal Information Processing Standards Publications link: http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/by-num.htm If encrypted password exchange is not required, plain text password exchange is permitted using the same USERVARs defined for encryption. For this case, the random client seed should be set either to an empty value (preferred method) or to hexadecimal zeros to indicate the password is not encrypted, but is plain text. It should be noted that security of plain text password exchange cannot be guaranteed unless the network is physically protected or a trusted network (such as an intranet). If your network is vulnerable to IP address spoofing or directly connected to the Internet, you should engage in encrypted password exchange to validate a client's identity. Additional VARs and USERVARs have also been defined to allow an auto-sign-on user greater control over their startup environment,
similar to what is supported using the Open Virtual Terminal (QTVOPNVT) API [SYSTEM-API]. The standard VARs supported to accomplish this are: VAR VALUE EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION -------- ---------------- ---------------- ------------------- USER us-ascii char(x) USERXYZ User profile name x - up to a maximum of 10 characters The custom USERVARs defined to accomplish this are: USERVAR VALUE EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION -------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------- IBMRSEED binary(8) 8-byte hex field Random client seed IBMSUBSPW binary(128) 128-byte hex field Substitute password IBMCURLIB us-ascii char(x) QGPL Current library IBMIMENU us-ascii char(x) MAIN Initial menu IBMPROGRAM us-ascii char(x) QCMD Program to call x - up to a maximum of 10 characters In order to communicate the server random seed value to the client, the server will request a USERVAR name made up of a fixed part (the 8 characters "IBMRSEED") immediately followed by an 8-byte hexadecimal variable part, which is the server random seed. The client generates its own 8-byte random seed value and uses both seeds to encrypt the password. Both the encrypted password and the client random seed value are then sent to the server for authentication. Telnet environment option rules will need to be adhered to when transmitting the client random seed and substituted password values to the server. Specifically, since a typical environment string is a variable length hexadecimal field, the hexadecimal fields are required to be escaped and/or byte stuffed according to the RFC 854 [RFC854], where any single byte could be misconstrued as a Telnet IAC or other Telnet option negotiation control character. The client must escape and/or byte stuff any bytes that could be seen as a Telnet environment option, specifically VAR, VALUE, ESC, and USERVAR. If you use the IBMSENDCONFREC USERVAR, as described in Section 5 of this document, with a value of YES along with the automatic sign-on USERVARs described above, you will receive a Startup Response Record that will contain a response code informing your Telnet client of the success or failure of the automatic sign-on attempt. See Section 11 of this document for details on the Startup Response Record.
The following illustrates the encrypted case:
iSeries Telnet server Enhanced Telnet client
-------------------------- -------------------------------
IAC DO NEW-ENVIRON -->

VAR "USER" VALUE "DUMMYUSR"
USERVAR "IBMRSEED" VALUE "yyyyyyyy"
USERVAR "IBMSUBSPW" VALUE "zzzzzzzz"
<-- IAC SE
.
.
(other negotiations) .
In this example, "xxxxxxxx" is an 8-byte hexadecimal random server
seed, "yyyyyyyy" is an 8-byte hexadecimal random client seed, and
"zzzzzzzz" is an 8-byte hexadecimal encrypted password (if the DES
encryption algorithm was used) or a 20-byte hexadecimal encrypted
password (if the SHA encryption algorithm was used). If the password
is not valid, then the sign-on panel is not bypassed. If the
password is expired, then the sign-on panel is not bypassed.
Actual bytes transmitted in the above example are shown in hex below,
where the server seed is "7D3E488F18080404", the client seed is
"4E4142334E414233", and the DES encrypted password is
"DFB0402F22ABA3BA". The user profile used to generate the encrypted
password is "44554D4D59555352" (DUMMYUSR), with a plain text password
of "44554D4D595057" (DUMMYPW).

5.1. Data Encryption Standard (DES) Password Substitutes
Both APPC and Client Access use well-known DES encryption algorithms
to create encrypted passwords. A Network Station or Enhanced Client
can generate compatible encrypted passwords if it follows these
steps, details of which can be found in the Federal Information
Processing Standards 46-2 [FIPS-46-2].
1) Padded_PW = Left justified user password padded to the right with
'40'X to 8 bytes.
The user's password must be left justified in an 8-byte variable
and padded to the right with '40'X up to an 8-byte length. If the
user's password is 8 bytes in length, no padding will occur. For
computing password substitutes for passwords of length 9 and 10,
see "Handling passwords of length 9 and 10" below. Passwords less
than 1 byte or greater than 10 bytes in length are not valid.
Please note that if password is not in EBCDIC, it must be
converted to EBCDIC uppercase.
2) XOR_PW = Padded_PW xor '5555555555555555'X
The padded password is Exclusive OR'ed with 8 bytes of '55'X.
3) SHIFT_RESULT = XOR_PW << 1
The entire 8-byte result is shifted 1 bit to the left; the left-
most bit value is discarded, and the rightmost bit value is
cleared to 0.
4) PW_TOKEN = DES_ECB_mode(SHIFT_RESULT, /* key */
userID_in_EBCDIC_uppercase /* data */ )
This shifted result is used as key to the Data Encryption Standard
(Federal Information Processing Standards 46-2 [FIPS-46-2]) to
encipher the user identifier. When the user identifier is less
than 8 bytes, it is left justified in an 8-byte variable and
padded to the right with '40'X. When the user identifier is 9 or
10 bytes, it is first padded to the right with '40'X to a length
of 10 bytes. Then bytes 9 and 10 are "folded" into bytes 1-8
using the following algorithm:
Bit 0 is the high-order bit (i.e., has value of '80'X).
Byte 1, bits 0 and 1 are replaced with byte 1, bits 0 and 1
Exclusive OR'ed with byte 9, bits 0 and 1.
Byte 2, bits 0 and 1 are replaced with byte 2, bits 0 and 1
Exclusive OR'ed with byte 9, bits 2 and 3.
Byte 3, bits 0 and 1 are replaced with byte 3, bits 0 and 1
Exclusive OR'ed with byte 9, bits 4 and 5.
Byte 4, bits 0 and 1 are replaced with byte 4, bits 0 and 1
Exclusive OR'ed with byte 9, bits 6 and 7.
Byte 5, bits 0 and 1 are replaced with byte 5, bits 0 and 1
Exclusive OR'ed with byte 10, bits 0 and 1.
Byte 6, bits 0 and 1 are replaced with byte 6, bits 0 and 1
Exclusive OR'ed with byte 10, bits 2 and 3.
Byte 7, bits 0 and 1 are replaced with byte 7, bits 0 and 1
Exclusive OR'ed with byte 10, bits 4 and 5.
Byte 8, bits 0 and 1 are replaced with byte 8, bits 0 and 1
Exclusive OR'ed with byte 10, bits 6 and 7.
User identifiers greater than 10 bytes or less than 1 byte are not
the result of this encryption ID, known as PW_TOKEN in the paper.
5) Increment PWSEQs and store it.
Each LU must maintain a pair of sequence numbers for ATTACHs sent
and received on each session. Each time an ATTACH is generated,
(and password substitutes are in use on the session) the sending
sequence number, PWSEQs, is incremented and saved for the next
time. Both values are set to zero at BIND time. So the first use
of PWSEQs has the value of 1 and increases by one with each use.
A new field is added to the ATTACH to carry this sequence number.
However, in certain error conditions, it is possible for the
sending side to increment the sequence number, and the receiver
may not increment it. When the sender sends a subsequent ATTACH,
the receiver will detect a missing sequence. This is allowed.
However the sequence number received must always be larger than
the previous one, even if some are missing.
The maximum number of consecutive missing sequence numbers allowed
is 16. If this is exceeded, the session is unbound with a
protocol violation.
Note: The sequence number must be incremented for every ATTACH
sent. However, the sequence number field is only required to be
included in the FMH5 if a password substitute is sent (byte 4, bit
3 on).
6) RDrSEQ = RDr + PWSEQs /* RDr is server seed. */
The current value of PWSEQs is added to RDr, the random value
received from the partner LU on this session, yielding RDrSEQ,
essentially a predictably modified value of the random value
received from the partner LU at BIND time.
7) PW_SUB = DES_CBC_mode(PW_TOKEN, /* key */
(RDrSEQ, /* 8 bytes */
RDs, /* 8 bytes */
ID xor RDrSEQ, /* 16 bytes */
PWSEQs, /* 8 bytes */
) /* data */
)
The PW_TOKEN is used as a key to the DES function to generate an
8-byte value for the following string of inputs. The DES CBC
mode Initialization Vector (IV) used is 8 bytes of '00'X.
RDrSEQ: the random data value received from the partner LU
plus the sequence number.
RDs: the random data value sent to the partner LU on BIND
for this session.
A 16-byte value created by:
- padding the user identifier with '40'X to a length
of 16 bytes.
- Exclusive OR'ing the two 8-byte halves of the padded
user identifier with the RDrSEQ value.
Note: User ID must first be converted to EBCDIC
uppercase.
PWSEQs: the sequence number.
This is similar to the process used on LU-LU verification as
described in the Enhanced LU-LU Bind Security. The resulting
enciphered random data is the 'password substitute'.
8) Handling passwords of length 9 and 10
1. Generate PW_TOKENa by using characters 1 to 8 of the password
and steps 1-4 from the previous section.
2. Generate PW_TOKENb by using characters 9 and 10 and steps 1-4
from the previous section. In this case, Padded_PW from step 1
will be characters 9 and 10 padded to the right with '40'X, for
a total length of 8.
3. PW_TOKEN = PW_TOKENa xor PW_TOKENb
4. Now compute PW_SUB by performing steps 5-7 from the previous
section.
9) Example DES Password Substitute Calculation
ID: USER123
Password: ABCDEFG
Server seed: '7D4C2319F28004B2'X
Client seed: '08BEF662D851F4B1'X
PWSEQs: 1 (PWSEQs is a sequence number needed in the
7-step encryption, and it is always one)
DES Encrypted Password should be: '5A58BD50E4DD9B5F'X
5.2. Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) Password Substitutes
A Network Station or Enhanced Client can generate SHA encrypted
passwords if it follows these steps.
1) Convert the user identifier to uppercase UNICODE format (if it is
not already in this format).
The user identifier must be left justified in a 10-byte variable
and padded to the right with '40'X up to a 10-byte length prior to
converting it to UNICODE. If the user's password is 10 bytes in
length, no padding will occur. User identifiers of less than 1
byte or greater than 10 bytes in length are not valid. The user
identifier will be 20 bytes in length after conversion to UNICODE,
so the variable that will hold the UNICODE user identifier should
have a length of 20 bytes.
2) Ensure the password is in UNICODE format (if it is not already in
this format).
The user's password must be left justified in a 128-byte variable.
It does not need to be padded to the right with '40'X up to a
128-byte length. Passwords less than 1 byte or greater than 128
bytes in length are not valid. The password will be 2 times its
original length after conversion to UNICODE, so the maximum length
of the variable that will hold the UNICODE password is 256 bytes.
3) Create a 20-byte password token as follows:
PW_token = SHA-1(uppercase_unicode_userid, /* 20 bytes */
unicode_password) /* from 2 to 256 bytes */
The actual routine to be used to perform the SHA-1 processing is
dependent on the programming language being used. For example, if
using the Java language, then use the java.security class to
perform the actual SHA-1 processing.
The PW_token will be used in subsequent step to actually generate
the final substitute password.
4) Increment PWSEQs and store it.
5) Create the 20-byte substitute password as follows:
PW_SUB = SHA-1(PW_token, /* 20 bytes */
serverseed, /* 8 bytes */
clientseed, /* 8 bytes */
uppercase_unicode_userid, /* 20 bytes */
PWSEQ) /* 8 bytes */
The actual routine to be used to perform the SHA-1 processing is
dependent on the programming language being used. For example, if
using the Java language, then use the java.security class to
perform the actual SHA-1 processing.
6) Example SHA Password Substitute Calculation
ID: USER123
Password: AbCdEfGh123?+
Server seed: '3E3A71C78795E5F5'X
Client seed: 'B1C806D5D377D994'X
PWSEQs: 1 (PWSEQs is a sequence number needed in the
SHA encryption, and it is always one)
SHA Encrypted Password should be:
'E7FAB5F034BEDA42E91F439DD07532A24140E3DD'X
6. Kerberos Services Ticket Automatic Sign-On Support
An iSeries Telnet server specific USERVAR defined below will contain
the complete Generic Security Services (GSS) token for use on the
iSeries. Enhanced Telnet clients will need to obtain the Kerberos
services ticket from a Key Distribution Center (KDC). Implementation
steps for acquiring the Kerberos services ticket will be limited to
the Microsoft Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) example
below. For information on Kerberos services tickets, refer to your
Network Authentication Service (NAS) documentation.
The custom USERVAR defined is:
USERVAR VALUE EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
--------- ------------- -------------------- -------------------
IBMTICKET binary(16384) 16384-byte hex field Kerberos services token
Several other USERVARs, as defined in Section 6, can be used along
with the IBMTICKET USERVAR to allow a user greater control over their
startup environment.
The custom USERVARs defined to accomplish this are:
USERVAR VALUE EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
-------- ---------------- ---------------- -----------------
IBMCURLIB us-ascii char(x) QGPL Current library
IBMIMENU us-ascii char(x) MAIN Initial menu
IBMPROGRAM us-ascii char(x) QCMD Program to call
x - up to a maximum of 10 characters
If you use the IBMSENDCONFREC USERVAR, as described in Section 5,
with a value of YES along with the Kerberos ticket USERVARs described
above, you will receive a Startup Response Record that will contain a
response code informing your Telnet client of the success or failure
of the Kerberos validation attempt. See Section 11 for details on
the Startup Response Record.
The following Microsoft SSPI example illustrates how to get the
client security token, which contains the Kerberos services ticket.
1) Get a handle to the user's credentials:
PSecurityFunctionTable pSSPI_;
CredHandle credHandle;
TimeStamp timeStamp;
ss = pSSPI_->AcquireCredentialsHandle(
NULL, // Principal
"Kerberos", // PackageName
SECPKG_CRED_OUTBOUND, // CredentialUse
NULL, // LogonID
NULL, // AuthData
NULL, // GetKeyFnc
NULL, // GetKeyArg
&credHandle, // CredHandle
&timeStamp); // ExpireTime
2) Initialize security context to "request delegation". Mutual
authentication is also requested, although it is not required and
may not be performed.
CtxtHandle newContext;
unsigned long contextAttr;
unsigned char token[16384] ;
unsigned long tokenLen = sizeof(token);
SecBuffer sbo = {tokenLen, SECBUFFER_TOKEN, token};
SecBufferDesc sbdo = {SECBUFFER_VERSION, 1, &sbo}
pSSPI_->InitializeSecurityContext(
&credHandle, // CredHandle
NULL, // Context
"krbsrv400/fullyqualifiedLowerCaseSystemName",
// ServicePrincipalName
ISC_REQ_CONNECTION|ISC_REQ_DELEGATE|ISC_REQ_MUTUAL_AUTH,
// ContextRequest
NULL, // Reserved
SECURITY_NATIVE_DREP, // DataRep
NULL, // Input
NULL, // Reserved
&newContext, // NewContext
&sbdo, // Output
&contextAttr, // ContextAttr
&timeStamp); // ExpireTime
3) Free the user credentials handle with FreeCredentialsHandle().
4) Send security token to Telnet Server (padded with escape
characters).
The following illustrates the Kerberos Token Negotiation:
iSeries Telnet server Enhanced Telnet client
-------------------------- -------------------------------
IAC DO NEW-ENVIRON -->
<-- IAC WILL NEW-ENVIRON
IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON SEND
USERVAR "IBMRSEEDxxxxxxxx"
VAR USERVAR IAC SE -->
IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON IS
USERVAR "IBMTICKET" VALUE
"zzzzzzzz..."
<-- IAC SE
.
.
(other negotiations) .
In this example, "xxxxxxxx" is an 8-byte hexadecimal random server
seed, and "zzzzzzzz..." is the complete Kerberos services token. If
the Kerberos services token is not valid, then the sign-on panel is
not bypassed. It should be noted that for the Kerberos token a
random server seed is not needed, although it will be sent by the
Telnet Server.
Actual bytes transmitted in the above example are shown in hex below,
where the server seed is "7D3E488F18080404", and the Kerberos
services token starts with "DFB0402F22ABA3BA...". The complete
Kerberos services token is not shown here, as the length of the token
could be 16384 bytes and would make this document extremely large.
As described in Section 6, the client must escape and/or byte stuff
any Kerberos token bytes, which could be seen as a Telnet environment
option [RFC1572], specifically VAR, VALUE, ESC, and USERVAR.

7. Device Name Collision Processing
Device name collision occurs when a Telnet client sends the Telnet server a virtual device name that it wants to use, but that device is already in use on the server. When this occurs, the Telnet server sends a request to the client asking it to try another device name. The environment option negotiation uses the USERVAR name of DEVNAME to communicate the virtual device name. The following shows how the Telnet server will request the Telnet client to send a different DEVNAME when device name collision occurs. iSeries Telnet server Enhanced Telnet client -------------------------- ------------------------- IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON SEND VAR USERVAR IAC SE --> Server requests all environment variables be sent. IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON IS USERVAR "DEVNAME" VALUE "MYDEVICE1" USERVAR "xxxxx" VALUE "xxx" ... <-- IAC SE Client sends all environment variables, including DEVNAME. Server tries to select device MYDEVICE1. If the device is already in use, server requests DEVNAME be sent again. IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON SEND USERVAR "DEVNAME" IAC SE --> Server sends a request for a single environment variable: DEVNAME IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON IS USERVAR <-- "DEVNAME" VALUE "MYDEVICE2" IAC SE Client sends one environment variable, calculating a new value of MYDEVICE2. If MYDEVICE2 is different from the last request, then server tries to select device MYDEVICE2, else server disconnects client. If MYDEVICE2 is also in use, server will send DEVNAME request again and keep doing so until it receives a device that is not in use, or the same device name twice in row.
8. Enhanced Printer Emulation Support
Telnet environment option USERVARs have been defined to allow a compliant Telnet client more control over the Telnet server virtual device on the iSeries. These USERVARs allow the client Telnet to select a previously created virtual device or auto-create a new virtual device with requested attributes. This makes the enhancements available to any Telnet client that chooses to support the new negotiations. The USERVARs defined to accomplish this are: USERVAR VALUE EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION ------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------------------- DEVNAME us-ascii char(x) PRINTER1 Printer device name IBMIGCFEAT us-ascii char(6) 2424J0 IGC feature (DBCS) IBMMSGQNAME us-ascii char(x) QSYSOPR *MSGQ name IBMMSGQLIB us-ascii char(x) QSYS *MSGQ library IBMFONT us-ascii char(x) 12 Font IBMFORMFEED us-ascii char(1) C | U | A Formfeed IBMTRANSFORM us-ascii char(1) 1 | 0 Transform IBMMFRTYPMDL us-ascii char(x) *IBM42023 Mfg. type and model IBMPPRSRC1 binary(1) 1-byte hex field Paper source 1 IBMPPRSRC2 binary(1) 1-byte hex field Paper source 2 IBMENVELOPE binary(1) 1-byte hex field Envelope hopper IBMASCII899 us-ascii char(1) 1 | 0 ASCII 899 support IBMWSCSTNAME us-ascii char(x) *NONE WSCST name IBMWSCSTLIB us-ascii char(x) *LIBL WSCST library x - up to a maximum of 10 characters The "IBM" prefix on the USERVARs denotes iSeries-specific attributes. The DEVNAME USERVAR is used for both displays and printers. The IBMFONT and IBMASCII899 are used only for SBCS environments. For a description of most of these parameters (drop the "IBM" from the USERVAR) and their permissible values, refer to Chapter 8 in the Communications Configuration Reference [COMM-CONFIG]. The IBMIGCFEAT supports the following variable DBCS language identifiers in position 5 (positions 1-4 must be '2424'; position 6 must be '0'): 'J' = Japanese 'K' = Korean 'C' = Traditional Chinese 'S' = Simplified Chinese
The IBMTRANSFORM and IBMASCII899 values correspond to:
'1' = Yes '0' = No
The IBMFORMFEED values correspond to:
'C' = Continuous 'U' = Cut 'A' = Autocut
The IBMPPRSRC1, IBMPPRSRC2, and IBMENVELOPE custom USERVARs do not
map directly to their descriptions in Chapter 8 in the Communications
Configuration Reference [COMM-CONFIG]. To map these, use the index
listed here:
IBMPPRSRC1 HEX IBMPPRSRC2 HEX IBMENVELOPE HEX
---------- ----- ---------- ----- ----------- -----

9. Telnet Printer Terminal Types
New Telnet options are defined for the printer pass-through mode of
operation. To enable printer pass-through mode, both the client and
server must agree to support at least the Transmit-Binary, End-Of-
Record, and Terminal-Type Telnet options. The following are new
terminal types for printers:
TERMINAL-TYPE DESCRIPTION
------------- -------------------
IBM-5553-B01 Double-Byte printer
IBM-3812-1 Single-Byte printer
Specific characteristics of the IBM-5553-B01 or IBM-3812-1 printers
are specified through the USERVAR IBMMFRTYPMDL, which specifies the
manufacturer type and model.
An example of a typical negotiation process to establish printer
pass-through mode of operation is shown below. In this example, the
server initiates the negotiation by sending the DO TERMINAL-TYPE
request.
For DBCS environments, if IBMTRANSFORM is set to 1 (use Host Print
Transform), then the virtual device created is 3812, not 5553.
Therefore, IBM-3812-1 (and not IBM-5553-B01) should be negotiated for
TERMINAL-TYPE.
iSeries Telnet server Enhanced Telnet client

IAC DO NEW-ENVIRON -->
<-- IAC WILL NEW-ENVIRON
IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON SEND

USERVAR "IBMFONT" VALUE "12"
USERVAR "IBMFORMFEED" VALUE "C"

IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND
IAC SE -->
IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS IBM-3812-1
<-- IAC SE
IAC DO BINARY -->
<-- IAC WILL BINARY
IAC DO EOR -->
<-- IAC WILL EOR
Some points about the above example. The IBMPPRSRC1 value requires
escaping the value using ESC according to Telnet environment options
[RFC1572]. The IBMPPRSRC2 does not require an ESC character since
'04'X has no conflict with environment options. Finally, to send
'FF'X for the IBMENVELOPE value, escape the 'FF'X value by using
another 'FF'X (called "doubling"), so as not to have the value
interpreted as a Telnet character per the Telnet protocol
specification [RFC854].
Actual bytes transmitted in the above example are shown in hex below.

10. Startup Response Record for Printer and Display Devices
Once Telnet negotiation for a 5250 pass-through mode is completed,
the iSeries Telnet server will initiate a virtual device (printer or
display) power-on sequence on behalf of the Telnet client. The
Telnet server will supply a Startup Response Record to the Telnet
client with the status of the device power-on sequence, indicating
success or failure of the virtual device power-on sequence.
This section shows an example of two Startup Response Records. The
source device is a type 3812 model 01 printer with the name
"PCPRINTER" on the target system "TARGET".
Figure 1 shows an example of a successful response; Figure 2 shows an example of an error response.10.1. Example of a Success Response Record
The response record in Figure 1 was sent by an iSeries at Release V4R2. It is an example of the target sending back a successful Startup Response Record. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | +----- Pass-Through header | | | +--- Response data | | | | +---- Start diagnostic information| | | | | | | +----------++----------++--------------------------------------- | | | || || | | 004912A090000560060020C0003D0000C9F9F0F2E3C1D9C7C5E34040D7C3D7D9 | | | | T A R G E T P C P R | | +------+ | | Response Code (I902) | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | C9D5E3C5D9400000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 | | I N T E R | | | | +------- End of diagnostic information | | | | | -----------------+ | | | | | 000000000000000000 | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure 1.

10.2. Example of an Error Response Record
The response record in Figure 2 is one that reports an error. The virtual device named "PCPRINTER" is not available on the target system "TARGET" because the device is not available. You would normally see this error if the printer were already assigned to another Telnet session. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | +----- Pass-Through header | | | +--- Response data | | | | +---- Start diagnostic information| | | | | | | +----------++----------++--------------------------------------- | | | || || | | 004912A09000056006008200003D0000F8F9F0F2E3C1D9C7C5E34040D7C3D7D9 | | | | T A R G E T P C P R | | +------+ | | Response Code (8902) | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | C9D5E3C5D9400000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 | | I N T E R | | | | +------- End of diagnostic information | | | | | -----------------+ | | | | | 000000000000000000 | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure 2.

10.3. Example of a Response Record with Device Name Retry
The Response Record can be used in conjunction with the DEVNAME Environment variable to allow client emulators to inform users of connection failures. In addition, this combination could be used by client emulators that accept multiple device names to try on session connections. The client would be able to walk through a list of possible device names and provide feedback based on the response code(s) received for each device name that was rejected. The following sequence shows a negotiation between the client and the server in which a named device "RFCTEST" is requested by the client. The device name is already assigned to an existing condition. The server responds with the Response Record showing an 8902 response code. The client could use this information to inform the user that the device name just tried was already in use. Following the Response Record the server would then invite the client to try another device name. Because the same device name was used again by the client, the server closed the session.

The Start-Up Response Record error response codes: CODE DESCRIPTION ---- ------------------------------------------------------ 2702 Device description not found. 2703 Controller description not found. 2777 Damaged device description. 8901 Device not varied on. 8902 Device not available. 8903 Device not valid for session. 8906 Session initiation failed. 8907 Session failure. 8910 Controller not valid for session. 8916 No matching device found. 8917 Not authorized to object. 8918 Job canceled. 8920 Object partially damaged. 8921 Communications error. 8922 Negative response received. 8923 Start-up record built incorrectly. 8925 Creation of device failed. 8928 Change of device failed. 8929 Vary on or vary off failed. 8930 Message queue does not exist. 8934 Start-up for S/36 WSF received. 8935 Session rejected. 8936 Security failure on session attempt. 8937 Automatic sign-on rejected. 8940 Automatic configuration failed or not allowed. I904 Source system at incompatible release.
The Start-Up Response Record error response codes for non-Kerberos
Services Token automatic sign-on:
CODE DESCRIPTION
---- ------------------------------------------------------
0001 System error.
0002 Userid unknown.
0003 Userid disabled.
0004 Invalid password/passphrase/token.
0005 Password/passphrase/token is expired.
0006 Pre-V2R2 password.
0008 Next invalid password/passphrase/token will revoke userid.
The Start-Up Response Record error response codes for Kerberos
Services Token automatic sign-on support:
CODE DESCRIPTION
---- ------------------------------------------------------
0001 User profile is disabled.
0002 Kerberos principal maps to a system user profile.
0003 Enterprise Identity Map (EIM) configuration error.
0004 EIM does not map Kerberos principal to user profile.
0005 EIM maps Kerberos principal to multiple user profiles.
0006 EIM maps Kerberos principal to user profile not found on
system.
1000 None of the requested mechanisms are supported by the
local system.
2000 The input name is not formatted properly or is not valid.
6000 The received input token contains an incorrect signature.
7000 No credentials available or credentials valid for context
init only.
9000 Consistency checks performed on the input token failed.
A000 Consistency checks on the cred structure failed.
B000 Credentials are no longer valid.
D000 The runtime failed for reasons that are not defined at the
GSS level.
In the case where the USERVAR, DEVNAME USERVAR, IBMSENDCONFREC
USERVAR, IBMSUBSPW USERVAR, and IBMRSEED USERVAR are all used
together, any device errors will take precedence over automatic
sign-on errors. That is:
1) If the requested named device is not available or an error occurs
when attempting to create the device on the server system, a
device related return code (i.e., 8902) will be sent to the client
system in the display confirmation record.
2) If the requested named device is available or no errors occur when
attempting to create the device on the server system, an automatic
sign-on return code (i.e., 0002) will be sent to the client system
in the display confirmation record.
11. Printer Steady-State Pass-Through Interface
The information in this section applies to the pass-through session
after the receipt of startup confirmation records is complete.

BYTES 0-1: Length of structure including this field (LLLL)
BYTES 2-3: GDS Identifier ('12A0'X)
BYTE 4-5: Data flow record
This field contains flags that describe what type of
data pass-through should be expected to be found
following this header. Generally, bits 0-2 in the first
byte are mutually exclusive (that is, if one of them is
set to '1'B, the rest will be set to '0'B.) The bits and
their meanings follow.

Diagnostic information notes:
1. LL is the length of the structure defined in Byte 6. If no
additional data is present, the remainder of the structure must
be padded with zeroes.
2. These are printer SIGNAL commands. Further information on these
commands may be obtained from the 5494 Remote Control Unit
Functions Reference guide [5494-CU]. Refer to your iSeries
printer documentation for more specific information on these data
stream exceptions. The following are some 3812 and 5553 errors
that may be seen:
Machine check C9 00 03 02 11
Graphics check C9 00 03 02 26
Print check C9 00 03 02 31
Form jam C9 00 03 02 41
Paper jam C9 00 03 02 47
End of forms C9 00 03 02 50

Machine check C9 00 03 02 86
Machine check C9 00 03 02 87
Ribbon check C9 00 03 02 88
3. These are printer negative responses. Further information on
these commands may be obtained from the 5494 Remote Control Unit
Functions Reference guide [5494-CU].
The print data will start in byte LL+1.
11.1. Example of a Print Record
Figure 4 shows the server sending the client data with a print
record. This is normally seen following receipt of a Success
Response Record, such as the example in Figure 1.

11.2. Example of a Print Complete Record
Figure 5 shows the client sending the server a print complete record. This would normally follow receipt of a print record, such as the example in Figure 4. This indicates successful completion of a print request. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | +-- Length of structure (LLLL) | | | +-- GDS identifier | | | | +-- Data flow record | | | | | +-- Length of pass-through specific header (LL) | | | | | | +-- Flags | | | | | | | +-- Printer operation code | | | | | | | | | | +--+ +--+ +--+ ++ +--+ ++ | | | | | | | | || | | || | | 000A 12A0 0102 04 0000 01 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure 5.

Example of a Null Print Record
Figure 6 shows the server sending the client a null print record. The null print record is the last print command the server sends to the client for a print job, and it indicates to the printer that there is no more data. The null data byte '00'X is optional and in some cases may be omitted (in particular, this scenario occurs in DBCS print streams). This example would normally follow any number of print records, such as the example in Figure 4. This indicates successful completion of a print job. The client normally responds to this null print record with another print complete record, such as in Figure 5.

12. End-to-End Print Example
The next example shows a full print exchange between a Telnet client and server for a 526 byte spooled file. Selective translation of the hexadecimal streams into 1) Telnet negotiations and 2) ASCII/EBCDIC characters is done to aid readability. Telnet negotiations are delimited by '(' and ')' parenthesis characters; ASCII/EBCDIC conversions are bracketed by '|' vertical bar characters. iSeries Telnet server Enhanced Telnet client ------------------------------- --------------------------------- FFFD27 --> (IAC DO NEW-ENVIRON) <-- FFFB27 (IAC WILL NEW-ENVIRON) FFFD18FFFA270103 49424D5253454544 7EA5DFDDFD300404 0003FFF0 --> (IAC DO TERMINAL-TYPE IAC SB NEW-ENVIRON SEND USERVAR IBMRSEED xxxxxxxx VAR USERVAR IAC SE) <-- FFFB18 (IAC WILL TERMINAL-TYPE) FFFA1801FFF0 --> (IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND IAC SE) FFFA27000349424D 52534545447EA5DF DDFD300404000344 45564E414D450144 554D4D5950525403 49424D4D5347514E 414D450151535953 4F50520349424D4D 5347514C4942012A 4C49424C0349424D 464F4E5401313103 49424D5452414E53 464F524D01310349 424D4D4652545950 4D444C012A485049 490349424D505052 5352433101020103 49424D5050525352 433201040349424D 454E56454C4F5045 01FFFF0349424D41 5343494938393901 <-- 30FFF0

13. Security Considerations
The auto-sign-on feature provided by this RFC describes a way to encrypt your login password. However, while passwords can now be encrypted by using the IBMRSEED and IBMSUBSPW USERVAR negotiations, users should understand that only the login passwords are encrypted and not the entire Telnet session. Encryption of the Telnet session requires that another protocol layer, such as SSL, be added. The auto-sign-on feature supports plain text passwords, encrypted passwords, and Kerberos tokens. However, using plain text passwords is strongly discouraged. iSeries system administrators may want to configure their systems to reject plain text passwords.14. IANA Considerations
IANA registered the terminal types "IBM-3812-1" and "IBM-5553-B01" as a terminal type [RFC1091]. They are used when communicating with iSeries Telnet servers.15. Normative References

This RFC relies on the 5250 Telnet Interface [RFC1205] in all examples. This RFC replaces 5250 Telnet Enhancements [RFC2877], adding new sections for Kerberos, SHA-1, security and IANA considerations. Minor corrections and additional examples were also added. Informative references have been removed.
