Re: Sign-on exit point

Look in the index for Midrange Guru at www.itjungle.com.  I have an article 
there, with code, that shows how to do this.

      Ah ha... the reason isn't so super secret. The reason we are looking into
    this is for a scenario like this.
    
    * Mission critical PC application uses iSeries as a DB via ODBC.
    * To keep good security, system is told to lock account after x number of
    invalid logons.
    * This happens to the account that the PC application uses to connect to
    iSeries via ODBC, thus locking account and any new connections to the
    system.
    * Mission critical PC application breaks because account is locked.
    
    Now in this scenario, there was another problem of using a user account for
    this connection, but that was corrected. We are worried about in the future
    with the what-if scenario.
    
    How do we prevent that account from becoming locked? This is assuming that
    the the user account has a strong password and cannot easily be hacked. Or
    better yet, what policies do you have in place so this situation doesn't
    happen?
