Each user that connects to iSeries™ and iSeries applications needs a directory in the /home directory. This directory stores the user's Kerberos credentials cache. To create a home directory for a user, complete the following:
On the iSeries A command line, enter: CRTDIR '/home/user profile' where user profile is the iSeries user profile name for the user. For example: CRTDIR '/home/SYSUSERA'. This creates a home directory for the user profile on iSeries A that represents all the Active Directory users.
Repeat this command on iSeries B but specify SYSUSERB to create a home directory for the user profile on iSeries B.
Now that you have created the home directories, you can test the network authentication service configuration on the iSeries systems.
