How to Securely Deploy Access Client Solutions ACS for IBM i Guide

To learn more, visit

IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) is the newest member of the IBM i Access family, replacing the IBM i Access for Windows client.

ACS runs on most operating systems supporting Java. Because ACS uses different technology and deployment approach than IBM i Access for Windows, the considerations for securely deploying ACS are different than IBM i Access for Windows.

Some of the considerations for ACS are:

- The product is readily available for download by anyone with an IBM
ID.
- The components selected during the install do not control the
functions that can be available to the user (desktop install).
- Users can change the configuration file to access more ACS
functions than initially configured.

The product can be updated without a traditional Windows install.
ACS can be deployed to a network server allowing a single install image to be leveraged by multiple users.
