Propagate profile changes to NetWare

After you enroll iSeries users on NetWare, profile changes for those users go automatically to NetWare and overwrite the corresponding NetWare attributes. iSeries sends only information in the group or user profile that applies to NetWare. Only those iSeries profiles that you enroll are affected when you make these changes:

• Change network server attributes by using the CHGNWSA command (if you specified *NWSA for the NDS tree list parameters on the CHGNWSUSRA command).
• Change the list of NDS trees to which iSeries sends profile changes for a particular iSeries profile by using the CHGNWSUSRA command.
• Change the password of a user profile by using the CHGPWD or CHGUSRPRF command.
• Use the CHGUSRPRF command to do this:
  • Change the set password to expired field of an iSeries user profile.
  • Change the text (description) of an iSeries group or user profile.
  • Change the status of an iSeries group or user profile to *ENABLED or *DISABLED.
  • Add an iSeries user profile to an iSeries group that you are enrolling.
  • Remove an iSeries user profile from an iSeries group that you are enrolling.
    Note:
    Be careful about removing a user profile if all these conditions are true:

    • The user profile was enrolled only as a group member with the PRPGRPMBR(*ALL) parameter
    • The user profile does not belong to any other groups that were enrolled
    • You remove that user profile from the group

    In this situation, the NetWare user object with the same name is deleted on all NDS trees that you specify with the CHGNWSUSRA command.
  • Add an iSeries user profile to an enrolled iSeries group by using the CRTUSRPRF command.
  • Delete an iSeries profile by using the DLTUSRPRF command.
  • Sign on to iSeries and use one of the preceding commands when iSeries does not store passwords. In this case, propagation delays until you sign on so iSeries can obtain the password.

If you decide you no longer want iSeries to send profile changes for a particular user or group to your NetWare servers, you can end user enrollment.
