Error in change password processing ‑ password not changed

Reason

You attempted to change your password but an error occurred when CA ACF2 for z/VM tried to move the new and old passwords around in memory. Your password is not changed. This might be caused if your New Password Exit (NEWPXIT) or Password Encryption Exit (PENCRYPT) was incorrectly installed.

Action

If you are using NEWPXIT or PENCRYPT, verify that it is performing the correct operation and password manipulation before it returns control to CA ACF2 for z/VM.
