Re: User profile question

Several of the IBM programs use the IBM profiles to get attributes.
QUSER, QTCP, QPGMR are a few heavily used by IBM processes.
Example: when a ftp request received, it first logs on with QTCP
and then profile-swaps to the user id supplied in the request.
Disabling these could disable vital parts of your system.
Maybe someone on the list can point to a table of where these are used.

Subject: User profile question

Our SOX auditors are hounding me about User Profiles.    I set most of
the IBM supplied profiles to Password = *none.   I did not change the
Status to *Disabled because I don't know about all of the effects of
doing that.

The help window says:
                      Status - Help

Specifies whether the user profile is valid for sign on or
for getting a profile handle.

The possible values are:
 o  *ENABLED: The user profile is valid.
 o  *DISABLED: The user profile is not valid.

What does "getting a profile handle" mean?    Will a disabled profile
prevent programs from running?
