This morning we received an AS400SecurityException with the text:
"Password is expired".  The class in question was running fine on
Friday, and the user under which it was running has PASSWORD(*NONE).  We
are using the localhost/*current approach for system and user.  This was
when calling the connectService( AS400.DATAQUEUE ) method.  A series of
JDBC connections in the same job also failed to establish, but they
didn't provide such a clear error message.

In the following entry in the list archives:
http://archive.midrange.com/java400-l/200204/msg00024.html Dave Wall
states this:

        "As a convenience when running on the iSeries, the Toolbox can
use the
         userid and password of the job's current thread instead of
having them
         supplied by the application.  This does not, however, override
the first
         consideration.  If the thread's password is *NONE or expired,
the
         connection will not work."

Which would imply that our approach should never have worked.

We got around the problem by changing the user profile to have a
password, signing on and off (I doubt that this was necessary) and
changing it back to not having a password.  This is no great problem for
us; however, we are a software vendor, and it would be at least an
annoyance for our clients to have to do this once a month, for example
(I suggest this time period because our passwords are set to expire
monthly. though that may have nothing to do with it).

Is there any way to prevent this happening again?  We are at V5R1, and
using the toolbox with native optimisations,
/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/jt400/lib/jt400Native.jar.

Cheers,

Martin.
