RE: 10 character User profile

You may be referring to the User ID length of OS/400 directory
entries...

Add Directory Entry (ADDDIRE)

Most often we intend to make the User Profile name the same as the User
identifier: User ID

In any case, this may be related to you situation. 

Hth, Ken

>(which they don't use and which I don't think is installed).

  The problem is the user profile length, not the password.
