RE: Changing multiple passwords

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You're right, Jeff, this is different in Windows 95/98/ME and NT/2K?XP. The 
latter have a different security mechanism, does not have password caching 
as the former do. There's a lot if info in the Express User Guide - under 
Index search for "password cach".

Here's a bit on simulating the caching of 9x in NT, etc.:

Of course, having CWBLOGON in a batch file also means the password is 
there, so a security exposure exists.

Now V5R2 is supposed to have this Enterprise Identity Management thing, 
right? Whatever it's called. Maybe that'd help. Is it actually there and 
has anyone used it?
