Re: user reset their ID

I would suggest a simple cgi program that is configured on the http server to not require a password when rendering the page. The page will return the request to programs that can then log the requests, do the necessary validation, including checking how many times this has been requested and then either failing the request or enabling the user.

Well, maybe you were going to make a 'kiosk' pc with an application to do
this?

Yes I realized that.
Then the only way would be running the command from a windows prompt and
fire off the cl.

WE have cases where people forget their passwords, I would say 2-3

times a

week i have to reenable.

Can there be a CL job the user would run that would do the enable for

them?

would they need special authority to run such a cl?

My first question is if they can't sign on, how would they run the CL? A
company I used to work for had a network solution that was able to
re-enable
or change a user password by the user on any registered system in the
network. I had to create a profile on the my system that had *secadm
special
authority. The user had to be signed into the network, but they could go

to

the page, enter new password for whatever system(s) they selected (they
could only see systems they had authority on). The application would

then

sign on to the appropriate system(s), and reset the password. I think

that

was a home-grown solution.

We also gave some of our other IT (non-iSeries experts) staff *secadm
special authority so they could reset passwords.

We also had a third party software app that ran on the iSeries. If a

user

called me, I would select their user id, it would generate a new

password,

email it the users work email, change the profile to that password as
expired, so it would require changing when it was first used.
