AS/400 change JDE password problems

Simple request, Shannon change the JDE password this weekend, we feel that auditors are not going to appreciate the password being JDE.  Fair enough I say…

They have a great password up their sleeves, lets say Numpty99! for example….

NO – Don’t do it.

No lower case, no special characters, KISS for the JDE password for AS/400.  (Keep It Simple Silly)…

I tried using lower case passwords on the AS/400, special characters and got the following in the kernel logs, only when I was trying to log into the web client.  The services started fine…  Scheduled jobs running without a problem… Could not sign into the web!

Java logs saying “Calling leftUDCJustify” failed, classic web server rubbish!  Right, look at the kernel logs…

LIB0000004 - Failed to get the profile handle for user id: "JDE " 400MSG = CPF22E20

There is the classic final line.

Great hit on mySupport, https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=PROBLEM&id=1278734.1

The site I was at had QPWDLVL set to 3, this did not affect the toll it had on JDE…  DSPSYSVAL QPWDLVL so see what your site has it set at.

I changed the password to NUMPTY991 [I did not change it to this, this is for illustrative purposes], all good.  Capitals and simple characters!
