Personally, I use my network logon script (Windows domain) to map an
IFS drive to my computer. Unfortunately, the (uneducated)
Powers_That_Be decided years ago to impose an arbitrary 4-character
limit on AS400 usernames, so naturally none of our modern Windows
Network accounts match our AS400 accounts. *sigh*
Anyway...when my login script executes, it waits for me to input my
alternate credentials for that AS400 share. It does this in a command
prompt, so it is a tad bit inelegant for me to provide as a function to
my users, but it works well enough for me. I think I could provide an
alternate username directly in the Windows login script, but I am not
sure about providing the password (I suspect it will require me to enter
it in a prompt).
This is just my experience, and there may be much better ways. But, we
do not have the luxury without _significant_ redesign of most of our
system to get our network account names/passwords to match those on our
AS400. :(
