Kpp_CLASSIC_PASSPHRASE

This parameter specifies the passphrase support setting for the OMEGAMON 3270 Classic interface.

This parameter is supported for the following products, each listed with its product code (pp):
  • OMEGAMON for CICS (C2)
  • OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert (D2)
  • OMEGAMON for IMS (I2)
  • OMEGAMON for z/OS (M2)
  • IBM Z OMEGAMON Monitor for z/OS (M2)
Description
This parameter controls if passphrase support is enabled, and, if so, the layout of the password fields on the OMEGAMON 3270 Classic interface logon screen. Multiple configuration options are provided.
Note: It is recommended that you review the available configuration options, especially if you use programs to automate the logon process to the OMEGAMON 3270 Classic interface that rely on static placement of keywords and input fields.

When passphrase support is enabled, use parameter Kpp_CLASSIC_SECCLASS to set the SAF security class that is used to permit or deny user access during logon to the OMEGAMON 3270 Classic interface, and use Kpp_CLASSIC_SAFAPPL to set the SAF application ID. If passphrase support is not enabled, you can use a security exit where you can specify the SAF class name and SAF application ID.

Default value
NO
Valid values
PARTIAL
Passphrase support is enabled with the PASSWORD and NEW PASSWORD fields each consisting of a single line. The minimum length of each of these fields is 34 bytes, and the maximum length (which can be up to 100 bytes) depends on the screen width. The fields are aligned in the center of the screen.
MAX62
Passphrase support is enabled with the PASSWORD and NEW PASSWORD fields each consisting of a single line. The minimum length of each of these fields is 62 bytes, and the maximum length (which can be up to 100 bytes) depends on the screen width. The fields are aligned at the left of the screen.
FULL
Passphrase support is enabled with the PASSWORD and NEW PASSWORD fields each consisting of two lines. The value in the second line is concatenated onto the end of the value in the first line. The length of the first line is 34 bytes and the length of the second line is 66 bytes, allowing the maximum passphrase value of 100 bytes to be entered. The fields are aligned in the center of the screen.
NO or NONE
Passphrase support is not enabled. The lengths of the PASSWORD and NEW PASSWORD fields are eight bytes each. If you have external security defined using a security exit, the fields are aligned in the center of the screen. If you do not have external security defined, none of the fields for credentials appear on the logon screen.
