RE: AS400 Profile Disabled

Thanks Dennis.
 
How do I synchronise the tools password with the new AS400 Password which they would have changed while signed on.
 
Is there any place in the 5250 Emulator which needs to be changed so that the password is in sync.
 
Many Thanks
Darell

I have seen users get disabled because they were using a tool such as Client
Access, and changed their password while signed on with that tool... then
going on to perform other tool functions such as data file transfers.  The
tool, under the covers, tries to log them in again with the password they
used when they started...

(But not in that order.)

A user complains that a particular service profile gets disabled.When I
checked the AS400 Logs,it suggests the following:

Message . . . . :   Subsystem QINTER disabled user profile BOTTOMLN on
device   QPADEV000G.

Cause . . . . . :   User profile BOTTOMLN on device QPADEV000K or
network
 address XXX.XX.XX.XXX has been disabled because the maximum number
of
  sign-on attempts specified for the QMAXSIGN system value has been
reached.

As per the logs ,the profile got disabled due to 3 unsuccessful
attempts.I have enabled the profile and it is working fine.

I am curious if there can be any other  reason for this AS400 profile
getting disabled.
Is it related to Windows Login Id or 5250 Emulator or session timeout
etc disabling this profile for some reason?Pls advice
