RE: AS400 drive mapping

I've had to do a workaround for that type of issue by building a batch file
the users can use to delete/remap their folder mappings.  It cleans up the
existing ones and then rebuilds them (which prompts them again for the
password).  Seems to do the trick as a workaround.  An example is below,
but you will probably need to tweak for what you want:


net use i: /d
net use j: /d
net use k: /d
net use l: /d
net use m: /d
net use n: /d
net use o: /d
net use i: \\SYSNAME\ovllib /persistent:yes
net use j: \\SYSNAME\qibm /persistent:yes
net use k: \\SYSNAME\folder1 /persistent:yes
net use l: \\SYSNAME\folder2 /persistent:yes
net use m: \\SYSNAME\qibm /persistent:yes
net use n: \\SYSNAME\folder1 /persistent:yes
net use o: \\SYSNAME\folder2 /persistent:yes

 System error 1219 has occurred.                                            
 The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials      
                                                                            



Another workaround to the password conflict type error above is to use
different ways of addressing the system when you do the mappings (from a
message board):

There is an easily exploited loophole which will allow
you to make up to three (3) different connections to a
single remote system -- all with different credentials.


Various versions of Windows allow you connect to a
remote system in the following ways:

• UNC ...... NET USE \\remotesys
• DNS ...... NET USE \\host.domain.com
• IP ....... NET USE \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

If the userid is the same on the windows machine as it is on the AS/400
then
it's a feature of windows security.  You can't connect to windows servers
with different passwords if the userid is the same either.

Subject: AS400 drive mapping

We are having an issue where users can not map a network drive to the
AS400 folders. The windows mapping process is forcing them to have the
same password on the AS400 as they do on the network. If the passwords
do not match, the mapping will fail.  Why would this happen or what
would control this?
