Issue/Introduction

I upgraded to TPX V5.4 and applied all the current maintenance. On the TPX lock screen it doesn't accept a password. Is there a setting I have to change to allow a password?

Environment

TPX V5.4RACF

Resolution

1. Verify PTFs for TPX LOCK: USER CREDENTIALS REVERIFICATION BY SECURITY have been applied.  

2. Check the Security Parameters in the SMRT:  

• If the alias name is specified, verify the same alias name is specified in security. This parameter controls how TPX relates to the security system and allows TPX to receive information from the security system and control password information.
