I implemented IBM's Enterprise Identity Mapping SSO (no-charge component of IBMi) years ago, and I've have never regretted it. It does take some effort to set up however.

Implementing Single Sign On (SSO) would provide a great solution to this issue. NetServer can be configured for SSO as well as TELNET, ACS and Client Access.

SSO could in fact, eliminate having to store ANY user passwords on the iSeries. Instead of entering a password, a user would authenticate to Active Directory when signing on to their PC and through the use of Kerberos Tickets and EIM, access to the iSeries would then be transparent (no need to provide a user ID or password).

All the user has to do then is manage his regular Windows Active Directory password.

SSO isn't an all or nothing implementation either. Certain user profiles, like QSECOFR and other special system administration User Profiles could still require that a User ID and password be specified to access the system.

Otherwise, it is really necessary (in my experience) to synchronize the PC password with the iSeries password. If that is done, NetServer works just fine. It isn't that hard to set up iSeries password rules that match your PC password rules. There have been a lot of changes to the QPWDRULES System Value over the last few releases.
