Issue/Introduction

What is the GSO PSWDJES option?

 

 

Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

The GSO PSWD PSWDJES option effects batch jobs only.

This option defines if invalid passwords will be counted in a batch environment.

When PSWDJES is set in the GSO PSWD record, invalid passwords will be counted towards the invalid password limit (PASSLMT) in a single day.

For example if you submit a batch job that has a valid logonid but the password is invalid, the PSWD-VIO field of the batch logonid will be incremented. If you specify NOPSWDJES, then invalid passwords are not counted for batch jobs.

 

 

Additional Information

Details on the PSWDJES field can be found in the CA ACF2 for z/OS Administration Guide, Chapter 14: Maintaining Global System Options Records section 'Password Maintenance and Support (PSWD)'.
