Abstract
A client IP address is communicated to server applications in a secure Telnet client/server system. During a client/server session, the terminal type is first negotiated, followed by negotiation of environment options, including requesting and receiving the client IP address. Upon creating a virtual device for the session, the client address in stored in device associated space in sockaddr_in format where it becomes available to the server applications through the QDCDEVD API.
