PM92889: CALLING CHANGEPASSWORD WITH AN INVALID USERNAME CAUSES AN UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION THAT CRASHES THE APPLICATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Trying to change the password on an user that, for example, was
  never created causes JSONStore to fail to get an accessor
  (shared manager). This causes an exception to be thrown. The
  exception is not caught and the application crashes.
  

Local fix

• Pass a valid username when calling changePassword.
