on a site where all win2K & winXP users need to access a windows 2003 AD as
well as a third party mainframe, is there some way to prompt the user for
authentication if their windows authenticaion is different than the mainframe
authentication ? currently the mainframe is set to expire passwords every 90
days, and when that happens and the name/password is not the same as is
passed by the windows clients it just locks them out instead of prompting for
a username and password. not sure if this is a windows security or kerberos
setting on the windows clients or a config error on the mainframe, but is
there a way to always prompt for authentication on the win clients if the
windows authentication to the mainframe fails ? tia ...
