Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: AS400 Object

Maybe I'm dense (probably so) but if the user calling this function has an
IBM i profile and is creating a new one, then the user calling the function
should be able to provide a valid password the API could validate. The
Java Project as I quickly looked at it, stores and retrieves environment
variables. Cool, yes, but to store a password that enables one to create
other user profiles, I wonder about the wisdom of that .

Thanks for the quick response

We would like to secure the password used to create the AS400 object.
This is what we do
AS400 sys = new AS400(system , genericuser ,password)

Sys.validatesignon(username , userpassword)

Password for the creating the sys object is hardcoded and would like to
take it off the code..
