Thank you. Management Central was the thought that was bothering the back
of my brain. QSECOFR's password expiring was a show stopper for us. We
just change it on a regular basis.
However, is Management Central dead?
For example, while I can get to this link by an awkward path
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_72/rzaih/rzaih1.htm
It does not appear as a "related topic" at
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_72/rzahg/rzahg2aaih.htm
like it does at
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_71/rzahg/rzahg2aaih.htm
And, the 7.2 link only has "What's new for 7.1" and not 7.2.
I believe that IBM thinks that Management Central is part of System i
Navigator which is part of the deprecated IBM i Access for Windows. While
I can find no statement about Management Central I am attributing that to
IBM feeling that it's part of the deprecated System i Navigator and that
the statement about that also applies to Management Central.
