Re: Netserver logon

In OpsNav V5R1, under NetServer, you can display and reset the profiles
that have been disabled for NetServer.

Hi,
I just ran into this one today.  I agree with all the above posts, just
adding mine.  In this case, the NT network userid and the AS400 userid are
the same, different passwords.

It seems that there is a AS400 *USRPF and a separate (sort of) Netserver
*USRPRF.  When you bring up Win 9x, it'll try and map the drive, using the
network userid and logon, until it hits your QMAXSIGN sysval, then will
disable the Netserver *USRPRF.  Now, you can't get the share to accept the
password at all.  You should see messages in qsysopr indicating that the
Netserver userprf was disabled.

The way to "beat" this is to jump on the AS400, CRTUSRPRF userid <enter>
(no
changes).  This will reset the signon count and if you'll then enter the
AS400 password into the netserver password prompt, it'll work.

If you simply must use different passwords, then you can enter the AS400
password into the share password prompt "promptly" as Windows comes up,
before it has a chance to try and fail QMAXSIGN times.

Best is, of course, is to keep the passwords in sync.
