Hi all,
I'm using BlockIP2 for securing the channel on our iSeries server.
I've searched and read the manual that the default log size is 200KB before switching to next log.
However, some of the configuration mentioned in the manual does not apply for iSeries. The configuration like LogCount and LogSize does not apply.
I've continued testing and now the log grows to 10MB and it's still not switching.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

If you read the source, you will see the log cycle code is conditionally used according to the platform. It's not applicable to i-Series.
So you need to implement some sort of houskeeping process. |

Thanks zpat.
I've done some scripting and not particularly good at reading C language.
Looks like I have to bring this up to the stakeholder as I initially thought there's no housekeeping needed.

There is only one BlockIP2 source module for all platforms.
You can then compile it for i-Series. |

can someone throw light on steps required to setup and test blockip2 in iseries, like:
The location to put the compiled blockip2 exit in iseries and relevant iseries specific mq commands that needs to be run.
i am not a iseries guy and need to provide guidance to iseries team to test this out.
Thanks. |

Exits are a very advanced topic in MQ admin.
I personally wouldn't even claim I could assist with installing an exit on iSeries unless I knew that the exit came with a very specific set of instructions for installtion on iSeries. But that's because I know I'm not an iSeries guy...
So make sure that BlockIP doesn't have instructions that can be helpful. If it *does* have instructions, review them yourself a few times and then go through them with the iseries team. They will understand at least how some of it relates to their site config.
If it *doesn't* have instructions... go through the info center very carefully and look at the sample exits a few times and look for dev works articles... And then cross your fingers that someone who has installed exits on iSeries is in a good mood and adds additional commentary here... |
