In Iseries Access it's the Communication menu option then Configure... then the Properties button.

Thanks Dennis.
Â
How do I synchronise the tools password with the new AS400 Password which they would have changed while signed on.
Â
Is there any place in the 5250 Emulator which needs to be changed so that the password is in sync.
Â
Many Thanks
Darell

I have seen users get disabled because they were using a tool such as Client
Access, and changed their password while signed on with that tool... then
going on to perform other tool functions such as data file transfers. The
tool, under the covers, tries to log them in again with the password they
used when they started...
