New password must have at least one imbedded national or user-defined character – none set

Reason

You tried to access the system with a new password to replace an existing password, but you specified a new password that does not contain a national(@,#,$) or user-defined character. Your site enforces this option.

Because CA ACF2 for z/VM VM did not require a new password at this time (the present password has not expired), it ignored the new password and allowed access. In the future, you must still use the old password until a new password is successfully processed.

Action

None at this time. However, the next time that you log on specify a new password with at least one national or a user-defined character. The characters that can be used can be displayed under 'PASSWORD OPTIONS IN EFFECT' in SHOW STATE.

If you use the # and @ characters in your password, during logon you must precede these characters in your password with the escape character (").
