Enables or disables the autologon feature of certain NS 3000/iX services.

NSCONTROL AUTOLOGON allows the user the ability to disable and re-enable
autologon for the NS 3000/iX services supporting this feature. Autologon
is enabled at NS 3000/iX startup. NSCONTROL AUTOLOGON must be executed after the NSCONTROL START command. When the NS 3000/iX services are stopped,
the autologon option resets to the default.
Disabling autologon may be important on those systems that
use a logon UDC to help enforce system security. With autologon
enabled (the default), a remote user can access local NFT, RFA and
RPM services without executing logon UDC's. With autologon
disabled, remote users must first establish a remote session with
the REMOTE HELLO command, and thus execute any preset logon UDC(s), before
using an NS 3000/iX service.
It is recommended that users with security logon UDCs disable autologon
for all services in order to preserve the security of the system from
remote users. Incoming requests attempting to use the autologon feature
will fail, since a remote session cannot be established automatically.
