Issue/Introduction

How do you report on "human" ACIDs with non-expiriing passwords?

Resolution

Run a TSSCFILE TSS LIST(ACIDS) TYPE(USER) DATA(PASSWORD,BASIC) to create a dataset with:

• All users
• Password expirations
• FACILITYs they are authorized.

A user written program or report generator can be used to read in the dataset and generate a custom "Human" ACIDs Non-expiring Password Report.

The reporting would have to determine which ACIDs are "human".

The following could be used to determine if the ACID is "human":

• Human users would be authorized for FACILTY's that have terminals.
• If using a naming convention for humans ACIDSs at your site, that can be used to determine if the PERMITs to programs that only a "human" acid would use.
