Re: Security changes at OS400 5.1

Accessing the code that sucks up the current job's uid/pwd is slightly
different in v5r1.  You have two choices.  Use jt400.jar +
/qibm/proddata/java400/jt400ntv.jar.  Or, use
/qibm/proddata/os400/jt400/lib/jt400Native.jar.  For more information see

We have just upgraded our development machine to OS 5.1 (a bit late I
know!)

Now some code that was working on previous release doesn't work. Relevant
code snippet follows:

                 /** if running locally on AS400 no sign on info required
                   * if running on PC the sign on prompt appears at point
of
connecting
                 */
        AS400 sys = new AS400();

        // only uses data queues
        sys.connectService(AS400.DATAQUEUE);


This now throws the following message:

 com.ibm.as400.access.AS400SecurityException: Password is not set.

When running the Java on the old OS400 there was no need to supply
password,
is this now mandatory at 5.1, or is there a security setting which will
allow AS400 object to created without password?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Incidentally, does anyone have a good way to supply user ids & passwords
for
Java to use without storing this in the code?
