RE: IFS Problems with Authentication.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Again, another cool function of Op's Nav.  You can drill down to the
NetServer part and a simple right click brings up a menu.  One of the
options will display the users who are disabled for NetServer.  And if you
are authorized you can enable them for NetServer from there.

It's possible for a user to disable Netserver login without disabling 5250
login.  You should see message CPIB682 in QSYSOPR and QHST:

User profile xxxxxxx disabled for AS/400 Support for Windows Network
  Neighborhood access.

When you try to connect to an IFS drive the PC will automatically try to
authenticate using the network i.d. and password you used when you booted
or
logged in the PC.  If the password is different than the AS/400 password it
will disable the Netserver login.  NT lets you prompt for user name and
password, but Windows 9x requires that your network and AS/400 i.d. and
password match.

If you change the network password to match the AS/400, you can re-enable
the user by performing a CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(xxxxxxx), without specifying any
parameter changes.
