log on to AS400 without pop up from Win NT??? is it possible???

[JacaB]

Hi!
To connect to AS400 from NT platform we use AS400 Client Access. Problem occurs everytime we restart our NT server and try to establish a connection to the AS400 datasource, regardless of the connection parameters that we send which include user name and password, AS400 brings up the pop up log on screen. This creates a problem on the service side if there is no one to manually enter the user name and password, because the whole system then waits for someone to come and manually enter the needed information.
We have managed to reduce this pop up screen to only the first time server logs on to AS400 by using an option in connection parameters in AS/400 Operations Navigator "Use default user ID, prompt as needed". But we still need to get rid of that first time log in pop up window which prompts regardless of the fact that connection parameters are there. Please help!!!!

here is the
ADO connection string used:
Provider=MSDASQL.1;Password=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Data Source=TEST;Initial Catalog=TESTAS400

version used:
IBM AS/400 Client Access Express for Windows, Version: 4, Release: 5, Level: 0

What we did in a similar situation was to tell OpsNav to use the windows user name and password and to never prompt. Then we set up the windows user name/password on the AS/400.
We use the same version of Client Access but with Windows 2000.
