Create authentication entries

Before starting a requested connection to a NetWare server, iSeries™ searches for an authentication entry for that server. You can create authentication entries to store the user name and password for each NDS tree to which users require connections in two ways:

Note:
Although iSeries users can have multiple NetWare user objects, they can have only one authentication entry for an iSeries profile per NDS tree. Therefore, create the authentication entry to access the NetWare user object that they use most often.

To create an authentication entry manually, do this:

  1. If you want iSeries to save password information with the authentication entry to automatically start authenticated connections to NetWare, first change the QRETSVRSEC system value.
  2. On an iSeries command line, type ADDNTWAUTE and press F4.
  3. In the Server type field, specify *NDS and press Enter.
  4. To access NetWare with a different user profile than the one you are using on iSeries, specify that user profile in the NetWare user field.

iSeries authentication entry commands shows the commands to add, change, delete, or display authentication entries for an iSeries user profile.
