Re: Finding why a user profile gets disabled * resolved

Thank you very much Bryan for pointing me to the sectools menu.
I have found my answers there (my inactivity days are 25) and I'll add the user profile to the Active Profile List.

Thank you again,
I was going nuts over this...

If you are logging *SECURITY in the Audit journal you can see PW
entries if someone is trying to signon with that profile.


Another thing could be a job in the job scheduler called QSECIDL1.
this job would have been setup if you used some of the options on the
GO SECTOOLS menu

2. Display active profile list
3. Change active profile list
4. Analyze profile activity

I have a user profile that's used once a month by an external agency to push a few files on my iSeries box via FTP (its password is set to never expire).
This has worked fine for a few years, but, starting a couple of months ago, this user profile is found in *disabled status when the agency tries to log in.
When that happens I re-enable the profile, but, the next month the user is back to *disabled status.
Wrong logins from the agency are to be excluded as they have the credentials coded in the program that pushes the files.

I have scanned the system log (dsplog command *print) from last time the user was enabled (Friday 9/19 at 08am) and the first time I found it disabled (this morning at 8am), but couldn't find any reference to this user profile. I was hoping to find in the log some reference like "User profile XXXX disabled...", but there's nothing. I couldn't even find a log entry to show that this morning I have changed the profile back to *enabled.

I need to find what causes the profile to get disabled. Any ideas why the system log doesn't show changes to the user status? Is there any other system / security log I can look at? Maybe a system value?
Any suggestions?

Thank you
