Does OM View support Password Phrases/Passphrase for Logon

Products

Issue/Introduction

When logging onto OM View are Password Phrases supported ? 

Environment

OM View

 

 

Resolution

OM View supports password phrase logon in addition to traditional eight character password support.

These factors affect the implementation of password phrase support  : - 

OM View requires the SECURITY=EXTERNAL or the SECURITY=LOGON initialization parameter setting. 

Password phrase support does not affect secure access points (eg TSO,ISPF,CICS) as secure access points do not require re authenticating passwords.

Users, who use external security and access OM View through VTAM or XMS interfaces, can implement either password logon or password phrase logon. 

You can enable password phrase using the XMS cross-memory parameter, LGNSEC=PPHRASE.

Note: XMS parameter LGNFMT does not support password phrases. If implementing password phrases, leave the password
fields blank to prompt a logon screen.

 

Additional Information

IMS and ROSCOE do not support password phrases.

Password phrase logons are only supported for OM View databases that are versioned at Release 12.2 and above.
