Mike,
As Peter pointed out the user attempting to swap to another profile has to have at least *USE rights to the target profile. By having the program that performs the swap owned by an *ALLOBJ authorized and adopts authority you achieve this condition.
For a disabled profile the program performing the swap has to adopt *ALLOBJ and *SECADM authority. You can then use *NOPWDCHK as the password.

Subject: Testing User Profile Swapping.
I am trying to test out profile swapping. I'm having mixed results and not sure where what to check next.
I've listed below the user I'm trying to swap to and 3 different users I'm swapping from.
The first original Profile works, and I can swap back and forth.
The other 2, I am not having any luck with.
SWAPPROFILE =TESTSWAP this is profile similar to VENDOR
Original Profile =POWERMS This is a power user profile.
Original Profile =MSMITH This is a normal user profile
Original Profile = VENDOR This is a group profile
SWAPPROFILE is owned by QSECOFR with *public exclude, Qsecofr group has *ALL, MSMITH has *USE and VENDOR has *USE
I noticed after the call to the QSYGETPH API that when running under MSMITH that I receive a CPF22E3 "profile Disabled"
However I don't receive this when running under POWERMS.
I tried increasing the authority of MSMITH to *ALL for profile SWAPPROFILE, but still receive the same error.
Any idea whats going on here?
Mike
