2.2 Migration Planning

  • If you install the password exit during installation, the installation program sets the QPWDVLDPGM system value to *REGFAC and installs a Validate Password exit program. If you want to publish password change information and if you currently use a Password Validation program, you must write a new one that can be registered for the QIBM_QSY_VLD_PASSWRD exit point.

  • We recommend that you use password level (IBM i QPWDLVL system value) 2 or above. For details, see Password Levels.

  • You can use any security level (IBM i QSECURITY system value) with the driver. IBM recommends security level 40.

  • Where are the objects that you plan to manage with the IBM i driver currently stored?

  • Can you use a Matching policy to select the objects to manage based on criteria, such as department, group membership, or some other attribute?
