I don't know - the OP said a fair amount about authentication in the original email, and the subject speaks of it, kind of.

Good question, man!

It can be Vern, but is authentication the real problem or is that a side
note? I suspect it has more to do with other items.

I don't know if this applies - I seem to recall that Kerberos and EIM could
be set up for NetServer - maybe worth a look, other than other things are
involved, right?

Is NFS a potential solution? User authentication happens with the
PID/UID that is a part of the user profile so they are tied together.

You don't specify which level of IBM i your system runs, and if there
are SMB compatibility issues. Could the SMB version on the desktop be
contradictory to the SMB version on the server?

Subject: Samba as alternative to NetServer - How to use USRPRF
Password

Hi!

We are using IBM-i with NetServer for about 1.5 Years now.
Since the Beginning there where Problems with Access to Netserver over
WAN (IPSec Tunnel) .We had some Tickets with IBM and the made some
PTFs to fix various things. (MA47224, MA47302, Other Problems with
Starting exe Files where we received a Workaround wich shoots other
thngs as we found out
now))

But after all we are not really satisfied with the compatibility of
NetServer with Windows-10.

First of all: I dont want to store my files outside of out AS400. I
know all alternatives and i dont need any suggestions or discussion on
this ;-)

Whats the state now:

We are now considering using Samba on IBM-i but the problem i have is
that it has a seperate User Database which i really dont like.
Is someone of you using Samba on AS400 and how do you handle this problem.

I thought that when nothing other is possible i would register with
QIBM_QSY_VLD_PASSWRD and send new Passwords to a Job via DataQueue
which calls pdbedit to change the users in the samba-db. But this is
not a nice solution.

Any suggestions?

Greetings,
Franz


Systeminfo: IBM-i 7.4 TR1, Power-S812, No Virtualization, Single OS
Instance . Problems mostly over low latency Networks ( ca 10ms-20ms)
