Wait a second...he wants a list of iSeries user id's and passwords?   

Unless every one of your users needs access to a PC directory from the
iSeries via QNTC,  I don't know of any reason why he would need to know
their user iSeries user id and password.

All,

A windows consultant is going to be setting us up as a domain instead of a
workgroup.  He's asked some questions I don't know how to answer.  Since
he's not really a System i guy, he won't know.

1) He wants a list of users along with passwords.  Since the System i is on
the LAN, does every System i user need to be set up in the domain?
Including IBM supplied ones?  How about ones I created that have no password
because they're not used for signon?

2) He asked for password rules.  Do I regurgitate the System i rules and he
duplicates them?  I've heard of something called single sign-on, should we
use this?  Not a good idea at setup time?  I can see the domain and the
System I each trying to enforce rules making it tough for users to keep them
in sync.
