Re: Catching Password Expiration on AS400 with tool box

Niranjan,

I don't know of any exception, but you can explicitly check how long it is 
until the 
password expires. One nice thing is that you can then use that same support 
for those that do not sign directly on the AS/400, which has the side effect of 
changing their profile last used date, which will prevent their profile from 
expiring.

Hi

I have this problem in which the password on my AS400 is set to expire with 
certain no of days. Now when i log in to AS400 from my servlet and validate 
the User Id and password. I have to check for this password expiration 
condition and throw the User a screen on which he can input the new password 
and confirm it which then would get update for the UserId in AS400 for that 
User's profile.

I was looking for any method or exception from validateSignOn method in 
AS400 ToolBox classes from where i can trap this condition and do my 
processing. I didn't find any specific method which handles these 
conditions.

Can any one tell me how i can go about it??

Thanks
Niranjan
