Special Argument Handling

IBM iSeries Launcher

Usernames and passwords can run into length issues during the automated login process initiated by a launcher. The issue stems from the behavior in the client—when a user logs in and enters a username of 10 characters, the client automatically tabs to the next field (the password field). The launcher's automated login process automatically inserts a tab, which can cause improper behavior in the headless client.

If this behavior is observed, we added a parameter to the launcher’s configuration to resolve it:
