Lim,
You could also set up a Web page the user can use to request their
profile be re-activated. The process sends the request to the system in
question which then e-mails back a temporary password and/or
notification their profile has been re-activated. Maybe a page that
launches their client connection to the system in question?
You could do the same thing with a generic profile via 5250.

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
