For specific devices, it is now possible to extract the username from Telnet connections with the help of patterns (including TN3270 and TN5250 systems).

To select patterns or request a custom pattern

  1. Navigate to Traffic Controls > Telnet > Authentication Policies and enable Extract username from the traffic.

  2. Click Select target devices to display the list of available target devices. Select the respective device(s) in the Available devices column and click Add.

    NOTE: You can only add one TN3270 specific device to the authentication policy.

    To remove a device from the Target devices column, select it and click Remove.

  3. Click OK. The target devices are listed after Selected devices.

  4. If you cannot find your device in the list of available target devices, request a custom Pattern Set. To do this, contact our Support Team.

  5. To upload the custom pattern set you received, navigate to Traffic Controls > Telnet > Pattern Sets, browse for the file and click Upload.

  6. To delete a custom Pattern Set from One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS), click in the respective row. Generic Pattern Sets cannot be deleted.
