Allow Assignment of an LU to a User and Workstation (185707)
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP2
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP3
- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q185707 SYMPTOMS
If you assign LUs/Pools to a workstation and select the "Allow Access to
Workstation Resources Only" option, any user who logs on to that
workstation has access to that LU.
Also note that if you assign LUs/Pools to a user with no limits on the
workstation, the user can log on to any workstation and get a session.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design in Microsoft SNA Service versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1,
3.0 SP2, 3.0 SP3, and 4.0.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0,
3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, and 3.0 SP3. We are researching this problem in versions
3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, and 3.0 SP3 and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 4.0.
This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for SNA
Server version 4.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on
the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
MORE INFORMATION
You can now configure any 3270 Display, LUA, and Printer LU to allow access
to it only if the LU is assigned to both a user and a workstation (or a set
of users and a set of workstations). Thus only a specific user logged on to
a specific workstation (or a set of users who are logged on to a specific
set of workstations) can access these LUs.
For all other cases, access is denied to the LUs.
To configure the LU for the user-plus-workstation-based security, there is
a new User Workstation Secured check box in the LU property page. This
security is turned off by default.
