Green Screens for IBM i

We are happy to announce a 2026.03 update with the new features, improvements and internal refactoring. Find out below what's new in this release.

New Direct Web Terminal Access

When opening a web terminal without any arguments, default terminal session will open if default UUID/HOST is defined. Additionally, if web login screen is disabled through the web admin console, the browser will automatically redirect to the web terminal.

New Spool Emailing feature

Green Screens Server has a set of spool file driver to convert SCS spool into various formats such as PDF, various image format and more. Now, rendered contend can be automatically sent to the specified mail address. Each IBM printer device can have it's own destination email address.

New Server Console Engine

Green Screens Server Runtime allows use of a powerful server shell console for advanced management. Now, we integrated the console into the Web Admin allowing administrators to execute server configuration scripts and commands from the browser.

New Local EIM mapping

Green Screens Server support client based certificate access. The new EIM engine replace an old certificate black list and provide much better control. This is also a preparation for new incoming password-less login feature for PassKeys, SmartCard and Digital certificates.

Improved Proxy Support

When running behind a proxy, web servers behavior changes based on protocol engines. There are 3 proxy protocol patterns: by using X-Forwarding HTTP headers, by using Forwarded headers and by using Proxy Protocol (HA-Proxy).

Green Screens Server added support for all 3 of them and now are configurable through the Web Admin console.

Additional security feature is added "Verified Proxy Server" (ACL) for even more increased security when running Green Screens Server behind a proxy.

Improved Startup Times

Green Screens Server now starts even faster with internal optimizations. Additionally, we added client access blocking feature until the server is fully loaded.

Improved GSSVC

Server runtime main service GSSVC (MS Windows) now exposes external access to the server runtime through JMC - Java Management Console.

Improved IBM i installation

Green Screens Server installation to the IBM i servers are significantly improved. We moved from Linux/Unix style installation to more natural to the IBM i system admins, based on SAVF restore with the integrated 5250 installation command.

Improved White Label support

Until now, White Label feature requirement for customers was to deliver required resources from which we would create a new module for overriding logo and some company information on the product. With the latest update, the configuration is externalized to the configuration storage where all required information can be changed. In one of the future updates, this will be even more simplified through the web admin console.

Admin UI redesign

We made smaller changed to the Admin Console, updating icons and better reorganizing top tool bar options.

Refactored server API

Internal server runtime API is refactored with improved initial auto-configuration
