SYMPTOMS

OS/400 may log the following error message:

  Message ID . . . . . . : CPI96C4

  13:32:10

  Message . . . . : Password not correct for user profile.

  Cause . . . . . : The password received by the APPC sign-on transaction
  program in job 247945/QUSER/QACSOTP for user <AS/400 User Name> was not
  correct.

  again.

Note: This problem does not happen with OS/400 V3R1, V3R2, V3R6 or V4R1.
