RE: What is causing a user profile to be disabled?

Have you checked QAUDJRN for password failure entries? Use journal code T entry type PW. Position 1 in the entry specific data shows the violation type and starting in position 2 is the user profile job user where the failure occurred. You can find the complete layout in appendix F of the security reference manual.

Types of failures are...

A APPC bind failure.
C User authentication with the CHKPWD command failed.
D Service tools user ID name not valid.
E Service tools user ID password not valid.
P Password not valid.
Q Attempted signon (user authentication) failed because user profile is disabled.
R Attempted signon (user authentication) failed because password was expired.
This audit record might not occur for some user authentication mechanisms.
Some authentication mechanisms do not check for expired passwords.
S SQL Decryption password is not valid.
U User name not valid.
X Service tools user ID is disabled.
Y Service tools user ID not valid.
Z Service tools user ID password not valid

Subject: What is causing a user profile to be disabled?

Hi folks,

Is there a way to find out what is causing a user profile to be disabled?

I suspect it's an FTP process from another server that is causing this.

When I press Help on CPF1393 in QHST, there is very little information.
device *N
network address *N
subsystem QSYSWRK

This is happening several times each day. What's funny is that nobody is
complaining about a process not working but obviously if they have the
wrong password something has got to be failing.

Any guidence would be appreciated.

Yours truly,
