Navigator for i File Shares and changing user password

Greetings,

We use Navigator for i to create and share File Shares over IFS files for
certain users.

As part of our security policy we force users to change their password
after x number of days.
When the user password changes they lose access to their mapped iSeries
File Shares. I also see their i Series Network Neighborhood user profile
get disabled too.

To resolve we reset the disabled Network Neighborhood profile, have them
try to access the share by logging in fresh. Sometimes removing and
remapping the File Share.

Looking to prevent their Navigator for i Files Shares from getting
disconnected after a password change and losing access to the share. Is
there a best practice to prevent this from happening?

Thank you,
