Issue/Introduction

How do I enable passphrase support in CA 7?

Environment

Release : 11.3, 12.0 and 12.1

Component : CA-7

Resolution

You must turn on passphrase support in CA 7 by going to the init deck and adding LONGPASS to the EXTERNAL keyword on the SECURITY statement.

 

Sample security statement:

SECURITY,NAME=SASSSECI,EXTERNAL=(LOGON,COMMAND,LONGPASS)

 

Once LONGPASS is added, need to restart the CA 7 Started Task for this to work.
