Exclude user from QMAXSIGN System Value Merged

Have a sign on that is used by multiple users. Is used by our ERP software Infor XA. User has no maintenance capabilities, only review. Would like to exclude user from the QMAXSIGN system value. Similar to the Password Expiration Interval that can be overridden with *NOMAX.


Use Case:

Our global setting is set to 5 unsuccessful attempts before a user is disabled. We would like to be able to exclude a single user from this global setting so that regardless of the number of attempts the user id does not get disabled.

    Hi,

    We have come up with a successful workaround that uses the STRWCH function to monitor for this and re-enable the user.

    Whilst I agree it's more or a hassle than the fix you have requested, we added the extra function to the watch program that retrieves the job and IP address details of the session that disabled the user and sends this detail to the SysAdmin in an email before automatically re-enabling the disabled user.
