RE: disabled network neighborhood user

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

iSeries Navigator has a great way to tell if any user profiles are 
disabled for NetServer.
Network
  Servers
    TCP/IP
      Right click on iSeries NetServer and select disabled user id's. Even 
has option to reset them.
By the way, you can right click on iSeries NetServer and select Create 
Shortcut.  Then to check for user id's you just open this up from your 
desk top and then you don't have to step through the tree.

RE: disabled network neighborhood user






Jim,

One way it can get disabled is depending on how they estalish the 
connection to the NetServer share from the Windows PC. 

We do not have matching user ids and passwords between OS/400 and Windows. 
Therefore I need my users to estabish their connection to the share via 
the dialog that prompts for user/pwd. In order for this to happen, I 
request that they open up Windows Explorer and type the 
\\AS400name\sharename into the address bar, then get prompted and enter 
the apprpriate OS/400 user/pwd. This gets the connection with no problem. 
(I think doing a manual NET USE with appropriate user/pwd also works)

However, if they disregard my request, and enter the path, for example, 
using Start/Run (definitely) or Internet Explorer (IIRC) then Windows 
defaults to sending the Windows user/pwd, which does not match what they 
need for OS/400. Furthermore, Windows does enough retries to exceed the 
limit and then we have the problem you described.

In order to reset the condition, I simply do a CHGUSRPRF on the usrprf in 
question without changing anything, CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(blah).

I do not know a way to proactively check whether it has been disabled. 
Only to watch for the message you mentioned after the fact.

Periodically, we get messages like this.

 User profile xxxxxxxx disabled for iSeries Support for Windows Network 
   Neighborhood access. 

Users do not seem to be affected by this disabled profile.   So my 
questions are:
1) What causes users to be disabled in this manner? What is it that they 
are doing?  I know that they exceeding the maximum number of sign on 
attempts, but where, doing what?
2) How is this reset, or how can I see if a user has this disabled?  I 
don't see anything in WRKUSRPRF to reset the network neighborhood access. 
The traditional profile remains enabled.
