Local password management
The Local password management ( LCLPWDMGT) parameter controls whether the user profile password is managed locally. When the password is not management locally, users cannot access the system by direct sign-on, but through other platforms.
If the password is managed locally, then the password is
stored locally with the user profile. This is the traditional method
of storing the password.

If the password is not being managed locally,
then the local IBM® i password
is set to *NONE. The password value specified in the password parameter
will be sent to other IBM products that do password synchronization,
such as IBM i Integration
for Windows Server. Users will not be able to
change their passwords using the Change Password (CHGPWD) command.
In addition, users will not be able to sign on to the system directly.
Specifying this value will affect other IBM products
that do password synchronization, such as IBM i Integration for Windows Server.
This parameter should not be set to *NO unless the user only needs to access the system through some other platform, such as Windows Server.
| *YES | The password is managed locally. |
| *NO | The password is not managed locally. |
