When IMS™ Connect
is configured to perform RACF® authentication, you can change RACF password
by issuing a password change request to IMS Connect
from your Java™ application.
About this task
To change the RACF password of the user ID that
is specified in your message from your Java application:
Procedure
Submit a message that includes the password change request
keyword HWSPWCH in the following format: HWSPWCH old-password/new-password/new-password
The
HWSPWCH keyword must be at the beginning of the application data section
of the message and be followed by one or more blank spaces, the current
password, a forward slash character, the new password, another forward
slash and then the new password again.
- The keyword HWSPWCH must be all uppercase characters.
- You must include one or more blank spaces between HWSPWCH and
the old password.
- The old password must be valid password for the user
ID.
- All passwords must follow RACF standards.
If the password is successfully changed, a "HWSC0031I PASSWORD
CHANGE SUCCESSFUL" message is returned. If the operation fails,
the IMS TM
resource adapter throws
an exception ICO0001E with a reason code indicating the error.
