Users forgetting as400 passwords or being locked-out from AS400 systems is a cost for IT service desk, and a time burden for users themselves!
Different solutions are available to remove the problem of as400 reset password. Single sign-on solutions might be your strategy. But if you want a cost-effective solution to your AS400 passwords with a robust technical solution, then FastPass password manager is the best and easiest solution.
iSeries security and as400 security is closely linked to the security of the password process in total, and FastPass improves the security and compliance of the process.
Many organizations internationally use FastPass with AS400 connectors, as examples: Novasol, Nodak Insurance US, Kaiser Ritter Partners Liechtenstein.
AS400 users look for different solution models to meet this challenge:
- Synchronization of Password from Active Directory
- Different Passwords for each AS400 system
Password synchronization from Active Directory and Windows to AS400
Whenever a user changes or resets his AD password in Windows, FastPass will automatically change his password on his AS400 system. This happens when the user has forgotten the password and resets through Fastpass, or when the user makes a simple ctrl-alt-del in Windows to change password in Active Directory.
Whenever a user changes or resets his AD password in Windows, FastPass will automatically change his password on his AS400 instances. This happens when the user has forgotten the password and resets through FastPass, or when the user makes a simple ctrl-alt-del in Windows to change password in Active Directory. The user then only has to remember one password, and all AS400 passwords are changed simultaneously. Only the user has seen the new password and your iSeries security and as400 security is higher thanks to fewer persons involved.

Different AS400 passwords and AD passwords – selective passwords for as400 password reset
You might have an installation with an older AS400 version where your password policy is limited compared to your Windows password policy. Then you cannot have the same password for AS400 and AD and password synchronization cannot work.
You might have critical AS400 systems where you do not want to have identical passwords for the AS400 system and Windows. Then password synchronization and single-sign on solutions cannot work. FastPass allows users to reset passwords directly - or selectively – for different systems. In FastPass the user after authentication selects what system to reset password for, and FastPass then performs the reset and unlocks the account!! Only the user has seen the new password and your iSeries security and as400 security is higher thanks to fewer persons involved.

FastPass benefits:
as400 password synchronization - System Management for iSeries
If the user has the same User-id across all AS400 and AD systems, then FastPass automatically can change the password without any Administrator interference.
If FastPass synchronizes password between different user-ids, then a User-id table is maintained.
For example John Doe might have the user-id JohnD at the AD and JoD at AS400. The administrator maintains this link via the FastPass Administration Console. Likewise the administrator can select AS400 instances where synchronization is not wanted for specific users.
At the AS400 system FastPass connects to AS400 via standard Remote Function Call, so you don’t need any software or hardware installation for your as400.
