APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In z/os Explorer 3.0.1 and 3.0.1.5 client, the save password shown at the bottom of the logon window can be disabled. However, although the host side RSE entry of _RSE_JAVAOPTS="$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -DDENY_PASSWORD_SAVE=true" is set, the option is still included on the screen. There is no preference on the client to disable the password before logging in. Setting com.ibm.cics.core.connections/passwordSaveable=false has no effect. Two scenarios are possible that require this to be resolved: 1) When using a new profile dataset, the Save Password is not disabled. 2) When entering a user id and password on logon, if the user selects "Save Password" and the connection fails, the password will be saved on the client. An addition to plugin_customization.ini will allow this to be set be set for new and existing workspaces.
Local fix
Problem summary
In z/OS Explorer, the password save feature could not be disabled for RSE-based connections.
Problem conclusion
The 'Save password' checkbox can be disabled for RSE-based remote z/OS connections by using the following property in the plugin_customization.ini file within the z/OS Explorer product install directory: com.ibm.cics.core.connections/passwordSaveable=false
