Mark,

Using MPLUS,
I created new event monitor under QSYSOPR

600 Netserver Disabled-renable
Action
SBMJOB CMD(RSTNETUSR USER('&1')) JOB(RSTNETUSR) JOBQ(QSYSNOMAX)
USER(PRODUCT)

QSYSOPR did not have authority to submit a job as this user, so I also had to grant authority to QSYSOPR for PRODUCT.

All working,
I may also add a page to go with the action.

I still have no idea why these users are getting disabled.
Our iSeries Userprofiles do not match our Windows domain accounts.
Could this be a Windows issue?

Paul

Hi, all:

A google search found this IBM support document:
:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1010645

This is a nice document that shows how to use the "watch" capabilities introduced in V5R4 to watch for the message that says a NetServer user was disabled, and automatically re-enable it.

I had not seen that document before, but just looked it up, and
downloaded the save file and looked at the source code. It uses the
same API (QLZSCHSI) to reset the NetServer user profile to "enabled".
But it only provides a command and you must do it one user profile at
a time.

The article by Carsten Flensburg uses the same API. This is also the
same API used by the old QUSRTOOL "GO NETS" tool.

Mark,

MPLUS is currently monitoring for the CPIB682.
I was reviewing the possibility of adding an action to the event
monitor.
I found IBM doc N1010992 - CL Program and Command to Re-Enable
NetServer Users This doc will points to RSTNETUSRF savf, which
contains the source.

Has anyone used the RSTNETUSRF command?

Paul:

I was thinking that Windows itself may have tried the password at
least once, automatically, without user intervention, depending on
how the user defined the "mapped drive" -- you can tell Windows to
remember the password and attempt to reconnect automatically whenever
Windows is re-started (boots up). So, that may have "used up" at
least one attempt, before prompting the user. Then, if the user "got
it wrong"
whenever Windows subseuqently prompted the user for that password,
they may have "used up" the remaining tries.

In any case, I think that article points the way to a "solution" --
if you can set up that program to run periodically, e.g. as a
scheduled job, at least once a day, perhaps more frequently, it seems
tome that you should be able to prevent this sort of thing.

Mark,

1) For second level text, do you mean this?
Cause . . . . . : User profile TPASKEIP exceeded the maximum
number of
incorrect sign-on attempts when connecting to IBM i Support for
Windows
Network Neighborhood (IBM i NetServer). This user profile has
been disabled
for IBM i NetServer access. The latest failure was received from
workstation ::ffff:10.5.47.54 at IP address ::ffff:10.5.47.54.

2) Also, based on the message, the user exceeded the maximum number
of attempts.
However, they only keyed their password once.
Does Netserver use sysval QMAXSIGN *SEC Maximum sign-on
attempts allowed?
We are set to 3.

Paul:

Look at the second-level text for that message CPIB682 for an
explanation as to how or why those NetServer user IDs are getting
disabled.

See:
http://iprodeveloper.com/rpg-programming/apis-example-list-and-enabl
e-
disabled-netserver-users

for a nice article and tool by Carsten Flensburg that
addresses this issue.

HTH,

I have a group of users that use mapped drives to the IFS.
Following an IPL, System save, restricted state and/or if user

Once the profile is re-enabled, every is fine, until next maint

Is this normal behavior, or can anything be done to avoid these
nuisances?
