We are migrating from the HP-UX version of Lawson to the Windows version. During testing we were getting a "user could not be logged in" error when running batch jobs and found out that their Domain_User password needed to be manually inputted in Manage Identities/Prod service in LSA in order to run batch jobs. This wasn't required in the HP-UX version.

It isn't practical to have to manually input over 100 network passwords in LSA every 90 days, and users aren't allowed to give up their password anyway. Is there a way to have the user's network password automatically updated in LSA when they change their password? Apparently the LDAP bind doesn't do that. Or is there possibly something wrong with the setup? It doesn't seem it would be intended to work this way. Thanks. Read More

I'm having difficulties narrowing down documentation(purpose and necessity) for this table. We have migrated over the years from being a lawson core user of workflow in which we used tasks and approvals. Back then if a user was not defined in the PfiUserProfile table they had no access to inbaskets, approvals, etc. Over the next several years we migrated our inbaskets and approvals over to landmark. We are now migrating up into the OS system and have changed alot of things. We also have a workflow that pulls users resource management and adds them into the workflow user table=PfiUserProfile. I have a user that is failing on the add. Since we have progressed our workflows, and no longer use tasks, is it still necessary to populate this table? Read More
