Password Phrase Support 

Deliver  supports password phrase logon in addition to traditional eight character password support. Password phrases can be 9 through 100 characters in length and can provide a stronger level of security when accessing the product. These factors affect your implementation of password phrase support:

1. Users, who use external security and access View through VTAM or XMS interfaces, can implement either password logon or password phrase logon. 
2. You can enable password phrase using the XMS cross-memory parameter, LGNSEC=PPHRASE. 
3. A new logon screen for password phrase and password phrase verification displays when applicable. 

Note: 

• VTAM and CICS support password phrases. IMS and ROSCOE do not support password phrases. 
• Password phrase support does not affect secure access points. Secure access points do not require re-authenticating passwords. 
• Password phrase logons are only supported for databases that are versioned at Release 12.2 and above.
