Re:NT, Client Access, & Passwords

[Eric Sundell PMI <esundell@xxxxxxxxx>]

NT does not cache passwords so you have to at least sign on to the router.
You
can however bypass the signon screen for the 5250 session. In CA V313 you
need
to have 'Bypass Signon' box checked in the configuration menu and on the
AS400,
set system value QRMTSIGN to *VERIFY. If the system value is not set to this
value, you will not be able to bypass the sign on display.

A customer is asking me about password synchronization
between NT and
AS/400.

Under W/95 the initial Profile and Password were saved by
W95 and were
automatically reused for every subsequent connection to the
AS/400.

Under NT, everytime they reboot the machine, the system asks
to re-validate
AS/400 Profile & Password.   They'd like to shut this level
of security off, and
allow automatic signon to the router.

Does anyone know how this is done in W/NT?

(P.S. - I know, I know, as a security guy I should not be
helping him leave an
open, unsecured, router, but he's been a good friend for a
long while, so I am
willing to indulge him.)
