Issue/Introduction

 Does Sysview support the use of mixed-case password and passphrase for logon authentication?

Environment

Release :  11.0, 12.x, 13.x, 14.x, 15.0, 16.0 and above

Component : SYSVIEW

Resolution

SYSVIEW Release 16.0 supports the use of mixed-case password and passphrase for logon authentication, and has been available since release 11.0.
There's nothing needed to set up to enable mixed-case and passphrase support in SYSVIEW. 

SYSVIEW code determines if a phrase was used based on the length of data entered in the 'Password' field on the logon screen. Anything longer than 8-bytes is considered to be a phrase.

 

Release 15.0 requires APAR #: RO97598 This PTF corrects the following:

SYSVW;2281 - Invalid new password error (GSVX523E) when attempting a

passphrase new password from the SYSVIEW VTAM or CICS interface logon
