Re: Copying data to a Windows server

["Mark S. Waterbury" <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxx>]

John:

If your company is at i5/OS V5R3 or better, you can use EIM -- which 
stands for "Enterprise(-wide) Identity Mapping.".EIM comes bundled with 
OS/400 V5R3 and above at no extra charge. With EIM, you "map" your 
Windows userID to your iSeries userID and vice versa, so there is no 
need to "change" user names on either platform.  EIM knows what OS/400 
user profile name is associated with what Windows UserID, and vice 
versa, for each supported platform. This also provides support "SSO" -- 
"Single Sign-On", which uses Kerberos tokens.

HTH,

Mark
