Re: AS400 Automatic Sending of New Password?

Frank,

I don't think this is going to be possible since the passwords on the
iSeries are encrypted and cannot be programatically retrieved. You'd
have to be able to access the password from a program on the iSeries, and
that is just not possible.

Hi Folks, you know when you're trying to sign in or log in?to a web site
but you forget your password and after a few tries you have to click on the
"forgot your password" button and you're emailed a new password?? Can that
be done with the AS400/iSeries??

Any thoughts on how?it could be done with minimal programming? ?

Has anyone out there tried that??

Right now when a user calls the help desk the help desk issues a
new?password?but we want to eliminate that call (and probably the help desk
too).?

As always, any help appreciated.?

Thanks, Frank?
