I'm looking at some recent IBM i documentation issued by IBM and I see the following statement:
"All IBM-supplied user profiles except for QSECOFR are shipped with a password of *NONE and are not intended for sign-on. These profiles are used by the IBM i operating system. Therefore, signing on with these profiles or using the profiles to own user (non-IBM supplied ) objects is not recommended."
After exploring the current settings on both a 7.4 and 7.5 box, I don't find this to be the case. Many IBM supplied profiles are there with a password present. Here's a brief example of the SQL output that I'm seeing:
Authorization No Status User
Name Password Class
Indicator Name
QANZAGENT YES *ENABLED *SYSOPR
QCLUMGT YES *DISABLED *USER
QCLUSTER YES *ENABLED *USER
QDIRSRV YES *ENABLED *USER
QIBMHELP YES *ENABLED *SYSOPR
QLPAUTO YES *ENABLED *SYSOPR
QLPINSTALL YES *ENABLED *SYSOPR
QPGMR YES *ENABLED *PGMR
QPM400 YES *ENABLED *USER
QRJE YES *ENABLED *PGMR
QSECOFR NO *ENABLED *SECOFR
QSRV YES *ENABLED *PGMR
QSRVAGT YES *ENABLED *SYSOPR
QSRVBAS YES *ENABLED *PGMR
QSYS YES *ENABLED *SECOFR
QSYSOPR YES *ENABLED *SYSOPR
QTCM YES *DISABLED *USER
Is this typical?
Or, is the IBM documentation that I'm look at (CIS IBM i V7R5M0 Benchmark) just incorrect.
