If you go this route, there's a handy procedure to get the address in the Easy400 sendmail service program.

Lim,
There is an email address in the SNADS entry for a user. If you enroll everyone in SNADS you can add their email address to their user profile.

Subject: method to let user reset their own password
We don't have SSO/EIM setup in our shop. We are currently looking for a way to allow user to reset his/her own password without having to involve an iseries admin. Below is the only idea that comes to mind:
1) Create a login exit point program that will fire of an email to the user's email address on the last login attempt that caused the profile to be disabled.
2) The email I send to the user will have a very long link that uniquely identified the iseries user ID. When user accesses the email and clicks on the link, it will call a iseries program to reset the password.
Now, the challenge would be how to tie iseries UID to user's email address.
There is probably a better and more full prove solution out there already, so, I thought I ask before reinventing wheel..
thanks
