Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Admin/Audit exploiting the  *
  *                 interactive option AU.V - Verify Password    *
  *                 and the 'VERIFY PASSWORD' CARLa statement.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zSecure Admin/Audit does not detect     *
  *                      hashed passwords in a non-KDFAES        *
  *                      environment in cases where the ICHDEX01 *
  *                      RACF exit (password authentication)     *
  *                      returns RC=4 or 16.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When an ICHDEX01 RACF exit (password authentication) is
  installed, the zSecure Admin/Audit does not detect hashed
  passwords in a non-KDFAES environment in cases where the
  ICHDEX01 exit routine returns RC=4 or 16.
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Admin/Audit has been modified so the password
  verification audit function reports that the the system uses
  password hashing in a non-KDFAES environment with an ICHDEX01
  RACF exit in cases where the exit returns RC=4 or 16.
