Hello all,

I'm working on trying to further secure our IBM i, and one of the things we're looking at is our DDM setup. From what I'm reading the default user that is associated with DDM is QUSER. One of the recommendations to improve our security is not to have our QUSER profile set up without a password. Does anyone have an idea of the potential gotchas system-wide from changing QUSER to require a password? I don't want to just change it without having some idea of the impact. Thanks so much!

Bill
