Re: i Access password weirdness

[Mark Allen <scprideandms@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a 'constant issue' for us as we require PW changes every 90 days.
Our intranet site displays it in BOLD on the IT homepage that if they have
this problem do the sign off and back on thing.  We also have problems with
"system" type profiles we use to connect to mapped servers on the IFS
failing to connect (we've gone to make them NEVER expire on the i or the
domain)
