Issue/Introduction

How to expire passwords for all existing users, so they are forced to change their current passwords?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Resolution

There is no built in functionality that will expire every user's current password.

It can be done programatically by:

1. Running a TSSCFILE TSS LIST(ACIDS) TYPE(USER) DATA(BASIC) to generate a dataset of all user type acids.
2. Create a program that reads in the TSSCFILE output dadtaset and generates a:

         TSS REPLACE(xxxxxxx) PASS(*,EXP)

          for each user. The above command willl keep the current password the same and expire it for each user.

3. Then take the TSS REPLACE commands generated, wrap IKJEFT01 JCL around it, and submit it. Please use an SCA or MSCA  type admin so they will have SCOPE over all acids and have the TSS admin ability to issue a TSS LIST and TSS REPLACE command.
