Re: Preventing user profile lockout

That DOS potential concerns us also.  However I "think" that if QSECOFR 
becomes disabled it can still sign on at the system console.  For just 
such a contingency.

Subject
Preventing user profile lockout






I have a requirement to prevent certain service/connection accounts from
being locked out - for example due to password validation errors. This
is to prevent the profiles being deliberately locked out as part of a
denial of service attack. 

We do not want to set QMAXSIGN to *NOMAX as this applies at a system,
rather than an individual profile level. 

Does anyone know of a way to do this? Is there an exit point we can hook
into when a user profile is disabled and use this either to stop the
profile from being disabled or re-enable the profile? Is there a way to
override this system value at an individual user profile level? 

Regards,
Stu
