RE: DDM files and QUSER

Not to pick nits, but, does *NONE actually stop DDM from accessing the remote system? Yes, it passes the user ID and password to the remote system, but is that actually the "sign on" that *NONE stops?

*NONE is a heck of a lot safer than having a password...

*NONE means it can't be used to sign on.

Hello all,

I'm working on trying to further secure our IBM i, and one of the
things we're looking at is our DDM setup. From what I'm reading the
default user that is associated with DDM is QUSER. One of the
recommendations to improve our security is not to have our QUSER
profile set up without a password. Does anyone have an idea of the
potential gotchas system-wide from changing QUSER to require a
password? I don't want to just change it without having some idea of the impact. Thanks so much!

Bill
