John,

You sure about "You could decrypt the password"?

I remember a big todo a number of years back when it was discovered that it
was possible to find and decrypt the Netserver aka windows password stored
on the box.

As I understand it, that still a problem if QPWDLVL is 0.

But otherwise?

Frank,

You could decrypt the password and send it to the user, but that is
probably more trouble than it is worth. Instead change the password and the
profile and send out a single use password that the user can use for access.

There are commercial applications that do this process for you securely and
take a lot of the risk and guesswork out of the process. There aren't any
available solely for the i, but if you are using EIM and SSO, you could
solve this whole problem at the network authentication level.

Subject: AS400 Automatic Sending of New Password?



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?
