RE: QNTC Blues

I you certain the passwords match? Depending on your iSeries security level, you may not have mixed case passwords enabled. The users usually use a mixed case on their Windows domain, and type it into the "Green Screen" as mixed, but it is actually all uppercase on the iSeries.

Just a direction to investigate.

Hello pundits

A QNTC directory has stopped working a week ago after years of service.
This Directory is used for copying documents from the IFS to a Windows
Server.
Copying is done by issuing a CPY CMD by a i user having the same exact user
name and password in the Windows domain.

The job log shows the following

CPDB053 Diagnostic 30 05/11/17 13:15:41.394979

The IBM i NetClient (QNTC) file system has encountered an error when
authenticating user AXXXB with a network server Acum_bl1.

the directory is created at IPL time (QSTRUP) by a MKDIR statement
MKDIR DIR('\qntc\\Acum_bl1') DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)

Signing on as user AXXXB and entering WRKLNK '/QNTC/Acum_bl1'
displays a "(Cannot find object to match specified name.)" MSG.

As I said, this method has worked fine for years and suddenly stopped
working about a week ago.

No permission changes where made on the i and in the Windows domain.

Any advice would be appreciated
