    The ENGINE folds the USERID and the PASSWORD to upper case
    uppercase because FOLD(YES) is the default setting.
    

Problem conclusion

  • In order to use mixed case passwords, FOLD(NO) must be
    specified in the KDSINNAM parameters. This prevents the
    ENGINE from folding the USERID and PASSWORD to upper case.
    However, a lowercase or mixed case USERID is still rejected
    rejected by the security application on the HTEMS. To solve
    this problem, the code was change to always fold the USERID
    to upper case.
