RE: Mapping problem in V4R4 Express CA -- MIDRANGE-L

Are you on Windows 95, 98, or Windows NT?  How about these other users?

On a Windows 95 and 98 machine the UserID they use on the network MUST exist
on the AS/400.  In this case if the passwords are the same you get in no
problem (without a prompt).  If the passwords are different you will get a
prompt for password but you will NEVER get in (regardless of if you supply
the right password or not) if your QMAXSIGN value is set to *NOMAX.  This is
a known bug and we had to set our QMAXSIGN value to other than *NOMAX before
we could get access to AS/400 files from a Windows 95 or 98 machine when
using a UserID that existed on the AS/400 but had a different password than
the network.

On a Windows NT machine you may have different UserIDs and passwords and
everything.  It should prompt you for the UserID and password you want to
use to access the AS/400 files and that should work fine I believe.

No Roger,

My UserID and Password on the Network is entirely different  with that of
AS/400, and about  others, some has the same ID but not all.

And Yes, Qmaxsign value is set to *NOMAX. Should I change?

        I bet your userid and password are the same on the Network and the
AS/400,
        right?
        And I bet theirs are not, right?
        And I bet your QMAXSIGN system value is set to *NOMAX, right?

        Hello pete,

        Yes, its accepting the Windows logon  password.
        But, its accepting only my User ID and Password and not the Users's
        individual ID ,what they had in the Network.

        I tried with their  personal logon ID of the user on their respec..
PC's and
        it gives "Password Incorrect. Try again" so, I tried logon with my
user ID
        and password and tried accessing the Netserver and it went through
with out
        any problem and it has not even asked for the password.

        I don't understand why its' allowing only my user ID for Accessing
this
        Netserver. My user on As/400 is having *SECADM user class and rest
all
        users's is having *PGMR class. Does they require any special
authorities?

        I can not ask others to use my ID and Password to logon into the
network
        from their PC's every time when they want to access the Netserver
folder,
        could you please tell me where am doing the mistake.

        And the Second issue is after mapping to the corresponding folder,
and
        giving this in the Startup Defaults of the IBM Reader, out of some
100
        shelves available in that folder I can only see 20 shelves from the
IBM Book
        Reader. Why is it so? What should I do for listing/viewing all the
shelves .

        Can U please help me in solving these two issues.

        Thanks
        Ravi

                Its your passwords.  Netserver (a windows function) uses the
windows
        password that you
                logon to your PC with, if that is not the same as what the
AS/400 is
        expecting, then
                you are probably getting the problems that you both
describe.
