Re: usrprf password mystery

as mentioned if you have audit journalling on for security
I use this bit of SQL. Adjust the time as necessary

SELECT Entry_Timestamp, current server as System_name
,Job_Number CONCAT '/' CONCAT RTRIM(Job_User) CONCAT '/' CONCAT RTRIM(Job_Name) AS Job_Name
,RTRIM(Program_Library) CONCAT '/' CONCAT RTRIM(Program_Name) AS Program_Name
,RTRIM(CAST(SUBSTR(Entry_Data, 2, 10) AS VARCHAR(10))) AS User_Id
,Remote_Address
,Remote_Port
, CAST(SUBSTR(Entry_Data, 12, 10) AS CHAR(10)) as "device"
,CASE RTRIM(CAST(SUBSTR(Entry_Data, 1, 1) AS CHAR(1)))
WHEN 'A' THEN 'APPC bind failure-(A)'
WHEN 'C' THEN 'User authentication with CHKPWD failed-(C)'
WHEN 'D' THEN 'Service tools user ID name not valid-(D)'
WHEN 'E' THEN 'Service tools user ID password not valid-(E)'
WHEN 'P' THEN 'Password not valid-(P)'
WHEN 'Q' THEN 'User profile is disabled-(Q)'
WHEN 'R' THEN 'User password was expired-(R)'

WHEN 'Z' THEN 'Service tools user ID password not valid-(Z)'
else '*UNKNOWN - ' concat RTRIM(CAST(SUBSTR(Entry_Data, 1, 1) AS CHAR(1)))
END Violation_Type
FROM TABLE (
Qsys2.Display_Journal(

We have a user who changed password last Friday and now profile is getting *DISABLED every night at 00:20:00.

The password doesn't expire until 11/25/25.

Enabling the profile allows for signon.

Seems like there is a ghost process that is trying to sign on with the "old" password.

What could that be.

No WRKJOBSCDE jobs; no FTP; ???
