Enabling a disabled user profile

 

You can re-enable a user profile that has become disabled by using iSeries™ Navigator or by changing the user profile. You can also enable a disabled user profile by stopping and restarting iSeries NetServer™. There are three ways that you can enable a user profile that has been disabled.

To use iSeries Navigator to enable a disabled iSeries NetServer user, follow these steps:

You need *IOSYSCFG and *SECADM authority to enable a disabled user profile through iSeries Navigator.

  1. From iSeries Navigator, expand system > Network > Server.

  2. Click TCP/IP to view the list of TCP/IP servers available.

  3. Right-click iSeries NetServer and select Open.

  4. Click File in upper left corner.

  5. On the pull-down menu, select Disabled User IDs.

  6. Click a disabled user ID and select Enable User ID.

You can also enable a disabled iSeries NetServer user by changing the user profile. To change the user profile, enter the following command: 

CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(USERNAME)
where USERNAME is the name of the user profile you want to re-enable.

You can exit the Change User Profile display without making any changes to the properties for the user profile.

A third way to enable a disabled iSeries NetServer user is to stop and then restart iSeries NetServer.
