Reverse encryption.

• VM:Secure for z/VM

Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to decrypt a single user's password with REVERSE encryption?  

 

 

 

 

Environment

Release: SECVTM00200-3.1-Secure VTAM
Component:

Resolution

If using REVERSE encryption, we do have the VMXFEN03 utility that will decrypt, but it goes against the entire (live) database which would end up leaving

you with decrypted passwords.  Currently, we don't have a utility to show encrypted passwords in plain text for an individual user. 

 

Additional Information

Information specific to Installing REVERSE or FORWARD encryption is documented in the VM:Secure Rules Facility Guide which can be accessed at:
