You can use automatic password direction to automatically synchronize passwords and password phrases when changes are initiated by:
  • Application programs that use the ICHEINTY, RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY, or RACROUTE REQUEST=EXTRACT,TYPE=REPLACE macro to supply the user's new password or password phrase in clear text form.
  • Application programs that use the ICHEINTY, RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY, or RACROUTE REQUEST=EXTRACT,TYPE=REPLACE macro to change:
    • Both the password and the last password change date information, or
    • Both the password phrase and the last password phrase change date information.
  • Application programs that use the ICHEINTY or RACROUTE REQUEST=EXTRACT,TYPE=REPLACE macro to change the last password or password phrase change date information, not the password or password phrase itself.
Note: Password and password phrase changes initiated using the following commands do not result in password or password phrase synchronization:
  • ADDUSER
  • ALTUSER
  • PASSWORD or PHRASE.
