Verifying Passwords with Another Security System



Environment

Release: VMSECR00400-3.2-VM:Secure
Component:

Resolution

To verify logon passwords that users enter while executing CA VM:Secure commands, use the CHKPASS user exit. This user exit is essential for sites that use security packages where the logon password is not stored in the CP directory. The user exit coding can verify for valid passwords using the security package, instead of looking in the source directory for the user ID’s password.

 

Additional Information

Note:  For more information, see CHKPASS user exit in the Reference.
