Mixed Case Passwords
The product now supports mixed case passwords with the following JCL parameter for the product region:
XOPT=PWMIX
If you enable this support, consider the following information:
- Do not share a UAMS database with a region that does not support mixed case passwords and is not using a partial security exit.
- Ensure that all regions in a multisystem environment have this support enabled.
