It's not a problem unless you want it all hands-off.  If there's someone
attending the software, then it'll ask for the user id and password the
first time it connects and after every IPL and shouldn't need to again.

If it's a hands-off application, then you have a problem because you don't
want to store the password anywhere, yet there's noone available to enter
it.
