RELATED IDEAS

Utilize Windows 'msg' command to send detailed messages to user

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Utilize Windows MSG function to pass through useful messages to users such as "Password will expire in XX days" , Disabled, User does not exist,. Anything is more useful than the "access if denied" message users get when mapping a NetServer drive to their Windows PC

I believe this was a working feature before Windows abandoned NetSend for MSG..


Use Case:

User attempts to map a NetServer drive to Windows. They enter correct location and try to authenticate, but fails. The error message received is "access is denied" everytime (not matter the issue) The user could be disabled, could be a bad password, not authorized to location, or userID doesn't exist on system.

    .Based on best security practices, it is not recommended to convey this sort of information on any authorization request to reduce the ability to attack an entry point.

    The "access is denied" message originates from Windows... not IBM i so IBM cannot fix this.

    Implement SSO and all these issues disappear !
