I have had this problem and the solution was simple.

We kept the ibm_i password in the basic 10 character format.

After experiencing issues similar to these, I contacted IBM and the rule they gave me was the password when entered must be single case. It can be either all upper case or all lower case. Since implementing this rule, our problems went away.

Another solution is to implement single signon (sso). I have not been able to implement sso. The IBM documents make it difficult for a non windows engineers to map IBM terminology with windows AD terminology.

Mixed case passwords are a pain and have to be implemented carefully.
I'll trust the other repliers have put the correct links.
Comes up on this list a lot.
Other than the mixed case issue all passwords are kept in sync between IBM
i and Windows using Tivoli Identity Manager.
