When configuring 5250 autologin for the AS/400, the QRMTSIGN system value must be set before the autologin will function properly. Use WRKSYSVAL QRMTSIGN and change the parameter to *VERIFY. This setting verifies that the user has access to the system, allowing the user to bypass the sign-on. The default is *FRCSIGNON.
