This parameter determines whether mixed case passwords are supported and being used.

Required or optional
Required for full and sharing runtime environments; does not apply to base runtime environments.
PARMGEN name
RTE_SECURITY_FOLD_PASSWORD_FLAG
Description
By default, TMS:Engine folds logon passwords to uppercase. However, IBM® RACF® V1.7 and later supports mixed-case passwords. If you want to implement mixed-case passwords and if all your monitoring agents support them, set this field to N.

If any of your monitoring agents do not support mixed-case passwords, do not activate the SETROPTS PASSWORD(MIXEDCASE) option in RACF and do not enable mixed-case passwords in your runtime environments. Accept the default value of Y for this parameter.

For more information about the MIXEDCASE option in RACF, see the z/OS® Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide.
