Re: How to change log-on user in ACS

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to Dan Riehl, that setting for IBM i Access for Windows might 
not work for all functions - some use the cached settings. I don't know 
if ACS has the same possible behavior.

But IBM i Access has the CWBLOGON executable - and this has the /c 
switch that clears the cache for all systems, a system you specify with 
a different switch, or a user on a system you set switches for.

Digging around in the gettingstarted for ACS, it seems there is a LOGON 
plugin that does the same thing - it also has the /c switch for clearing 
the cache -

I'll have to test this on my work laptop tomorrow - not sure what it'll 
do on there, as I use the .netrc method of bypassing initial system 
logon, but we shall see.
