Re: network access from iseries question

I'm pretty sure that to access SMB shares from IBMi, you must either have
SSO or matching user/password.

You could rig up something to use an IBMi batch job that does have matching
user/password with the SMB server. Your actual IBMi user jobs would have
to use some mechanism to utilitze the batch job.

subject: network access from iseries question

we have an environment where our iseries talks with our windows server.
The users that log into both the network and iseries have the same
user/passwords (not a single signon environment). If the passwords are
unmatched, the iseries would throw a CPDB053 Error exchanging security
information.

Other then single-signon approach (not ready for that yet), is there a
way to set up iseries to windows server authority using a group profile
rather then the specific user? So if john/bill/mary and tom where logged
in and the iseries needed to access the windows server
(/qntc/10.0.0.2/windows_folder) it would authenticate with WINDGRP
profile where WINDGRP has authority to that location?
