Re: QNTC: Is there an issue when Windows Id is different from the AS400 User Id?

N
ope, the use of QNTC still requires user IDs and passwords to match
between the i and the Windows box.

As an alternative, consider the use of "Network File System" (NFS). This
is the Unix/Linux equivalent to Windows file shares. Both Windows and the
i support NFS. (With older version of Windows, it is a optionally
install-able feature of the OS).

The advantage to NFS in your case is that the mount command used to make a
network share accessible supports the use of an explicitly specified user
ID and password. Thus the traffic between NFS server and client takes
place under that explicit user ID.

Lastly, NFS is generally considered a bit more robust than QNTC/Netserver,
at least when it comes to IBM i <-->Windows.

Good afternoon list!

Operating system: V5R4

Maybe this has been already resolved but is better to ask the crew...

During the development / testing process for a ticket, I have plans to use
the EXECUTE command (from SEQUEL) to export a file to a with shared network
folder. This is my main goal. However, we need to enable an
IBM/Microsoft function. It is QNTC, if I am not mistaken.

Here is a link that discusses QNTC in more detail:
http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg031704-story04.html

In the article it says: "QNTC is shipped as part of the base OS/400
operating system, but you must have the TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for
iSeries 400 licensed program 5769TC1 or 5722TC1 installed and configured in
order to use it. You also need a working AS/400 NetServer configuration on
your iSeries or AS/400 box, which is configured through a later version
Client Access Express for Windows or iSeries Access for Windows Operations
Navigator. On the Windows side, you generally need a working Microsoft
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server in order to locate other
Windows servers on the network. Once that QNTC service is active and
available, then you can use the EXECUTE command in SEQUEL to save results
to the remote location."

I investigated and found out that:

Licensed Program 5769TC1 5722TC1
OHS7 Not Found Found
NOVA Not Found Found
OHS1 Not Found Found

Seems like we have a good opportunity to use this parameter of the EXECUTE
command then. Now, apparently there is a problem in that the Windows user
id and the AS400 user id must be the same so it is not ideal for user
initiated options.

Is this a true statement or is there anything that may have changed since
V5R4? How we can overcome this?

Thanks in advance,
Peter Vidal
