I do not have the "LAN Manager hash" enabled on my V5R4 system, but I was
able to get the IFS share to work by not using mixed case password on my
Windows Domain.

Our domain requires mixed case OR a special character AND a number. To be
specific, you need 2 out of the three of : mixed case, number, special
character. Something like this might help mitigate both risks. Then, just
be sure to always use one of the special characters allowed in an AS/400
password (0-9, A-Z, @, $, # and underscore (_). Must start with an A-Z
character)

RE: Connecting to an IFS share with Windows XP






LAN Manager is the original NT password hashing mechanism if I recall.
It splits a password into 7 character chunks and hashes. These days they
are not considered very secure. It has been superseded by a different,
stronger hash. Current Windows OS (Vista & 7) make you jump through
hoops to use NTLM.

NTLM has been "trivial" to crack for years now with a tool called
L0ftcrack.

Others more well-versed in the Windows realm can enlighten or correct.

Any idea on the impact of allowing authentication with the LAN Manager
password hash?
