IBM i 7.1.
Set up a new user. She chose a password with an '@' in it. Signed on
to TN5250 without issues (as expected). Tried to map a network drive
(Windows 7) to /Accounting and she got 'Access denied'. No CPInnnn
message, just line of text inside the Windows 'Map a Network Drive' box.
After changing her password to match her user ID, she was able to map
the network drive fine; knew at that point it wasn't authorisation but
her password. Windows 7 says that an @ is acceptable in a password.

Infocenter (Networking -> TCP/IP applications -> NetServer) says this:
'When using i5/OS NetServer, normal i5/OS user profiles and passwords
apply. By default, only users with valid i5/OS user profiles and
passwords can access resources on the system. Windows 2000, Windows XP,
and Windows Server 2003 offer the option to select a different user ID.
If the passwords do not match, you will see a password window. Windows
can optionally be set to remember the password.'
So. She can sign on to green screen with the @ in her password, but she
can't sign on to NetServer with it, despite the assertion in the above
quoted paragraph. The IBM reference material on NetServer seems...
thin. Is there a good technical reference I can use?
