Content Manager OnDemand user ID relationship to IBM i user profiles

When you install Content Manager OnDemand, a default logon security user exit is enabled that forces a relationship between your Content Manager OnDemand user IDs and your IBM® i user profiles.

If you use Content Manager OnDemand as installed, then the following is true:
  • A Content Manager OnDemand user ID must match an IBM i user profile.
  • The password when logging on to Content Manager OnDemand is the same as the password used when logging on to IBM i. If you change the password using Content Manager OnDemand, it actually changes the IBM i password. When you create a Content Manager OnDemand user ID, you actually leave the password field blank.
  • Maximum Password Age should be set to Password Never Expires. If you specify a value for Maximum Password Age, then Content Manager OnDemand might force a user to change their password before it is required by IBM i.
  • Minimum Password Length should be set to Allow Blank Password. This prevents Content Manager OnDemand from trying to impose its own rules on the length of a password and allows IBM i to use its own rules.

If the security exit is not enabled, then the Content Manager OnDemand user ID and password have no relation to the IBM i user ID and password and all the Content Manager OnDemand System Parameter settings are honored.
