Opsys Aliases may be found in the [Opsys Aliases] section of the OpenLink Session Rules Book. You will also find Opsys Aliases in the Edit Operating System (Opsys) Aliases portion of the Administrative Assistant. The standard Opsys Alias is an abbreviation for the operating system from which you want to connect. However, you may create regular expressions which map many systems onto one alias. For instance, the following expression groups Windows platforms together:

win32|msdos = msdos

This allows you to create a single Mapping Rule which applies in a variety of cases. This insures economy and flexibility in security. If you do not employ regular expressions, you will need to create one Mapping Rule per operating system.
