Enter the name of the new user or group in the User field. This can be a specific or generic* name. Use the value *ANONYMOUS for anonymous connections. For a list of possible values, press the F4 key.

The body of the screen is made up of lines that can refer to different IPv6 address ranges. Possible values include:

IPv6 Address

The IPv6 address for the range of addresses. In addition to an IPv6 address, you can set this field to *ALL for rules applied to all IPv6 ranges that aren't otherwise specified.

Address prefix length

The length of the IPv6 address prefix. This can be set to from 1-128.

1=Allow 2=Reject 3=Altlogon

How Firewall responds to requests by the user for incoming FTP/REXEC logons from this IPv6 range. Possible values include:

• 1: Accept logon requests
• 2: Reject logon requests
• 3: Require an ALTLOGON connection to connect, as set on the Modify FTP/REXEC Logon User screen, shown at Modifying a User for Outgoing IPv6 FTP Connections.

Text

A free-form text description of the rule.

If you are using *ALTLOGON, as indicated in IBM documentation, the user takes on a different identity, including that user's authority settings. Set the section of the screen labeled For*ALTLOGON (alternative logon):​ to appropriate values.

After entering information in these fields, press the Enter key.
