Abstract

Disclosed is a method, system, and program for accessing a control system, such as a printing systems manager (PSM) in a server from a client computer. The control system includes a logon program to allow a client side of the control system executing in the client computer use a terminal emulation program to access a client process executing in the server to perform control system operations. The client requests security context for the client including authorization, such as a Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) type authorization, to allow the client to access control system functions in the server. The server returns the requested security context to the client. A client program executing in the client transmits a control system command and the security context to access the server control system.
