IBM-supplied user profiles

A number of user profiles are shipped with your system software. These IBM-supplied user profiles are used as object owners for various system functions. Some system functions also run under specific IBM-supplied user profiles.

To allow you to install your system the first time, the password for the security officer (QSECOFR) profile is the same for every system that is shipped. However, the password for QSECOFR is shipped as expired. For new systems, you are required to change the password the first time you sign on as QSECOFR.

When you install a new release of the operating system, passwords for IBM-supplied profiles are not changed. If profiles such as QPGMR and QSYSOPR have passwords, those passwords are not set to *NONE automatically.

IBM-supplied user profiles contains a complete list of all the IBM-supplied user profiles and the field values for each profile.

Note: All IBM-supplied user profiles except for QSECOFR are shipped with a password of *NONE and are not intended for sign-on. These profiles are used by the IBM® i operating system. Therefore, signing on with these profiles or using the profiles to own user (non-IBM supplied ) objects is not recommended.
