Matching usernames with different passwords has always been a problem. You "might" get by mapping a drive and using the option to specify different credentials. For the username, put {ibm_i_hostName}\{username}, and use your IBMi password.

We tend to avoid matching usernames. The few people who have them just match passwords, which is a dance to satisfy password rules on both sides.


Good luck,

Subject: ifs mapped drive issue

I am testing the use of mapped drives to our IFS.

I have set up a shortcut on a Virtual Desktop.

If my network id and ibm I password are the same, I have no issues, If my network id and ibm I ID are different, I have no issues.

However if my network id and my ibm I password are not the same I cannot get connected.

I get a 'Windows Security' prompt to enter user id and password but receive 'Network password is not correct' After a couple attempts at this my Netserver userid becomes disabled.

If I try to use the network password I get 'Access is denied'.

Any idea what might be going on here.

I've done some searching and found some references to the issue, but no resolutions.

THanks
