Re: Netserver passwords

[<KMort@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Kenneth:

Could you tell me what Windows OS your users are running?

The reason I ask this is because Win9x seems to have an issue understanding
that you may logon to different resources with different user profiles and
passwords. Go figure.

Thus, if you have the exact same user ID and password (user ID especially)
it works fine. Otherwise, when you try to map a drive Windows will pop up
with a logon to IPC$ (or something like that) but will only allow you to
place a password there. Not a user ID. At this point, Windows tries to pass
the same user ID you used for a Windows logon to Netserver when you make
the connection.

Now, when you try to map under Win NT (and 2K I believe) it will allow you
to enter both a user ID and password. So effectively you could have
different IDs for the Win NT signon and 400 signon (which I do at my
office). For best results (i.e. more automated logon) if the Windows NT
user ID and password also exist on OS/400, and you check the option for
"Reconnect at logon" it should automagically attach the share and log you
on.

The catch here is when you change your Windows password - and not the 400
password, then try to access the share...you will get an error in Windows.

Hope this helps.

I'm experiencing problems with users accessing my AS/400 via the Netserver
interface.

As long as the user's PC Network user ID and password is exactly the same
as
the AS/400 user id and password everything seems to work just fine.

However, if they are different in any way, I see the following error
message:

538559/QPGMR/QZLSSERVER CPIB682 User profile S4C disabled for AS/400
Support
 for Windows Network Neighborhood access.

I change the user profile on the AS/400 to re-enable it and have the user
synchronize their password between their PC and the AS/400.

My question is, how can I set things up to force the user to enter a valid
userid and password if they attempt to map a folder on the AS/400 via
Netserver and either their PC userid or password is not valid?

I'm currently running on V4R5 of OS/400 with the most current CUM packages
applied.

thanx

Kenneth
