The version number that goes with IBM i 7.1 is IBM i Access for Windows V7R1. IBM has played 'musical names' with this product frequently.Beginning in 7.1, the System i Access for Windows product is renamed to IBM i Access for Windows. The client needs to be fully compatible there as much as with the server.Tom. There are just too many variables to cover completely here.So as a final thought, can a program be written that runs every hour on the 400 and calls a.exe on a windows server, taking out client access totally?Sure.īut single version/release servers usually make it easy to choose.At some points, the client OS can also be a determining factor. There are just a lot of conditions, security considerations, and possible gotchas.
For example, the Windows RUNAS command can run a program as a different user:But this has nothing to do with the STRPCCMD command - it just sends a string to the emulator, and the emulator launches it as a Windows command in the user's session.So to have the 400 call a.exe program on one of our servers from domain users and non domain users is just not possible.I didn't say that. Be aware that the user may see them unless you work out a way to keep that from happening. If the Windows command accepts credentials, you can pass credentials. Has everything to do with the Windows user that is logged on at the moment.There is no way to put in different credentials in the STRPCO / STRPCCMD command.STRPCCMD just sends a Windows command to the emulator program, and the emulator does it a favor and runs the command. Windows just sees a command being executed by a process already running on the user's desktop under the users's credentials.If his computer has access to the file share, running STRPCO / STRPCCMD will also have access to the file share.Has nothing to do with the user's computer.

So just to make sure I have this right, using STRPCO / STRPCCMD relies on the credentials of the user on the local pc running client access.STRPCO/STRPCCMD just sends a request to the emulator running int he user's session and asks it to run the command for it.
