DFS3656 IMS PASSWORD VERIFICATION, PLEASE RE-ENTER NEW PASSWORD:


or

IMS PASSWORD VERIFICATION, SIGN ON WITH VERIFY KEYWORD

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.
