NETSVRCMD library is downloaded from IBM. Long ago someone (Jim Stone?) wrote the tooling for 5250 and IBM has more or less kept it functional. You can find it by doing a search for it. If you have not refreshed it in several years you might want to look at the version to be sure it’s not superseded, however changes come out so infrequently that you might not need to update it.

George,

We are on v7r3 and have NETSRVCMD library. I don't recall if I had to download that separately, or if it was part of a Tech Refresh.

You asked for a solution to reduce disabled netserver passwords. I gave you what works for us. We worked with IBM on this. You're welcome to take my advice or leave it.
Our experience is that it's easier for a person to remember ONE password, than two (especially when it's difficult for a user to know which system they are actually accessing).

Regardless of what you do.. I urge you to go to PWDLVL 3... We are a small company of just over 200... our password requirements on both Windows and IBM i are long and follow the recommended complexity and change intervals.

Two years ago, we were at PWDLVL 1 - the switch to 3 was the easiest security measure we have taken.

Greg,

I must assume that your NETSRVCMD is a V7R5 library. Also, even if I go to PWDLVL 3 my users will have to keep their passwords in sync? None of the documentation addresses that they must stay in sync to keep from disabling the Network Neighborhood.

ADDLIBLE NETSRVCMD then GO NETS, option 12 This is easier than using

ADDLIBLE NETSRVCMD then GO NETS, option 12

This is easier than using Navigator to reset users.



Now to fix the real problem:

We use the IFS Extensively - users accessing for a variety of reasons.



1. Go to Password level 3. If you're not there, shame on you. Such
an easy security enhancement

2. Have your users synchronize their windows & IBM password - when
they change one, change the other to match exactly

3. On the PC: Open Credential Manager (search for it). Delete any
saved Windows Credentials for the IBM I - windows will use the
"windows password" to connect to the IFS



Know that a SINGLE click on an IFS folder with the wrong password will disable the user in Netserver. The PC attempts to connect several times if unsuccessful.



You will still get some people disabling themselves - usually when they change their password after having already connected to the IBM i. If the windows password is changed at logon, then the IBM i password changed before accessing the IFS they will be fine.



HTH,

Greg

One specific user has constant issues with being disabled for access
to IFS

folders through windows client.







He claims adamantly that the correct password is used and has changed
from

using a script to attaching the folders in windows explorer.







Doing constant resets using the navigator is getting to be quite a chore...







Ideas? Any ideas??
