<ol type="1">
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Make sure that the i5/OS&trade; QRETSVRSEC system is set to 1. You can
do this with the Work with System Values (WRKSYSVAL) command. If you do not
do this, you will be unable to enroll users on your integrated Windows server
until they sign on to i5/OS.

<div class="notebody">This system value is also required
for iSCSI integrated server support.</div><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
<li>The user should use i5/OS passwords containing only characters and password
lengths allowed in Windows passwords if they want to enroll users. The password
level of i5/OS can be set to allow for user profile passwords of 1 - 10 characters
or to allow for user profile passwords of 1 - 128 characters. An i5/OS password level
change of the system value QPWDLVL requires an IPL.</li>
<li>The i5/OS password level of 0 or 1 supports passwords of 1 - 10 characters
and limits the set of characters. At password level 0 or 1, i5/OS converts passwords
to all lowercase for Windows.</li>
<li>The i5/OS password level of 2 or 3 supports passwords of 1 - 128 characters
and allows more characters including uppercase and lowercase characters. At
level 2 or 3, i5/OS preserves password case sensitivity for Windows.</li>
<li>When the i5/OS passwords of enrolled users expire, their Windows passwords also
expire. Users can change their passwords on Windows, but they must remember
to also change their passwords on i5/OS. Changing the i5/OS password first automatically changes
the Windows password.</li>
<li>If the i5/OS system value QSECURITY is 10, the Windows users that are created
do not require passwords to sign-on. All other i5/OS QSECURITY levels require that a user
object have a password to sign-on. You can find more information about security
levels in the <a href="../books/sc415302.pdf" target="_blank">iSeries&trade; Security
Reference</a>
<img src="wbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF." />.</li>
<li>If you are using a language other than English, be aware that using anything
but invariant characters in user profiles and passwords can cause unpredictable
results. The <a href="../nls/rbagsglobalmain.htm">Globalization</a> topic contains information
about what characters are in the invariant character set. This statement is
only true when QPWDLVL is 0 or 1. When QPWDLVL is 2 or 3, invariant characters
can be used without causing any problems.</li></ol>
