Login with user and password

[PauloDuarteBA]

Is it possible to connect and perform a direct login by passing parameters such as USER and PASSWORD without waiting for the logon screen? (or something like that, like a certificate...)

One way would be to write a python script that does the logon and then puts you into zti. A couple examples of scripts that do logon:
#150
https://github.com/IBM/tnz/blob/main/examples/logon.py

You could use this at the end of the script to get into zti:

from tnz import zti
zti.create().cmdloop()

Or, if you wanted to go right into the session:

zticmd = zti.create()
if zticmd:
    zticmd.cmdqueue.append("GOTO")
    zticmd.cmdloop()

There is also ongoing work in #147 that could be a different way to run a logon script.

If the goal is to eliminate the use of a password, the express logon feature of some other 3270 emulators COULD be an option... but tnz does not support it ... yet.
