Re: i5/OS Single Logon

I tried it this morning. 

First off, using the nnslinst.nsf on my server (R6.5.1) and detaching the 
slsetup.exe resulted in an error during the install. The error message was 
"Error - Unable to find Lotus Notes". Funny since LN has been on this pc 
for almost 5 years. So I downloaded the same nsf from an IBM FTP Site. 
This one did install without problem. I rebooted, logged on, opened notes 
and sure enough I wasn't prompted for a password. That was nice. I then 
started CA express sessions, and it did bypass the initial iSeries access 
logon prompt, and it went straight to the 5250 emulation sign on screens. 
That alone eliminated two instances of where I would normally enter my 
user id and/or password. 

Then I tried to switch users in Notes to the admin account. It failed with 
an error indicating the password didn't match. It didn't give me the 
option to enter another password either - so that squashes any hope for my 
using this since I, and the win network admin, are both notes admin and 
his network admin password is different that the notes admin password. 
(Since we share notes admin duty but not windows admin duty - we can't 
have the same passwords for obvious reasons - and for hipaa reasons too.) 

It would be nice if this application allowed you to specify which user 
id's are single signon candidates, and which should bypass sso.

So the proof of concept was somewhat acceptable. The only other problem is 
that not all of our users have windows and iseries profiles with the same 
value. So that means either changing the iseries profiles and assuming the 
baggage associated with that (IMO - unacceptable) or doing a name change 
of the windows network users and also then cleaning up all the associated 
details such as shares, network storage etc... and I'm not the windows guy 
so I don't know what's involved from the windows perspective regarding 
that. 

But this does make a good case for instituting a policy that windows 
logons and iseries profiles should be the same for all future employees.
