Password prompt window pops up behind other windows

[ThePrez]

It seems the password prompt window often pops up behind other windows, and I must <alt>+<tab> (Windows) to get to it. Can this be improved?

In general, the toolbox has been deprecating the existing GUI support. Should we just eliminate the password prompt window?

In my recent experience I would say yes, it should be removed. We use this driver (v20.0.7) in a headless server process under Linux, and it ends up throwing X11 errors when a user's password is approaching expiration. That is obviously less than ideal.

I would not remove it...if you do not want GUI, simply call setGuiAvailable(false) on the AS400 object.

I would argue exactly counter: if a UI application wants this behavior, enable it. The vast majority of java applications are headless, so to have applications failing in such non-obvious ways is extremely undesirable, especially for conditions that are not fatal.

I do not have a problem changing the default to no GUI. Just had a problem with eliminating it.

Also, there exists the option to set JVM option: "com.ibm.as400.access.AS400.guiAvailable=false"
