DFS3656 IMS PASSWORD VERIFICATION, PLEASE RE-ENTER NEW PASSWORD:
or
Explanation
The user of a VTAM® terminal is attempting to change the password or password
phrase during a signon. When password or password phrase verification is enabled, this message
prompts the user to reenter the new password or password phrase.
The first form of the message, which contains the text
PLEASE RE-ENTER NEW PASSWORD: is the one normally received by the user, and prompts the user
to reenter the new password or password phrase. The password or password phrase is not displayed to
the terminal.
The second form of the message, which contains the text
SIGN ON WITH VERIFY KEYWORD, is the one normally received when there are resource
constraints, and it is not possible for IMS to issue the first form. In this case, the user is prompted to reenter the
password or password phrase using the /SIGN ON command.
System action
IMS verifies that the new password or password phrase entered as a response to
this message matches the password or password phrase originally entered. If verification is
successful, signon completes successfully, and message DFS3650I is displayed with
the status, *PWD-CHG*, to indicate the password or password phrase was changed. If verification is
unsuccessful, signon fails with DFS3649A, return code 304.
Operator response
If the first form of the message is received, reenter the
new password or password phrase. The new password or password phrase is not displayed on the
terminal.
If the second form of the message is received, enter the
/SIGN ON VERIFYxxxxxxxx command, where
xxxxxxxx is the new password or password phrase.
