Password Integrity Analysis

Mismatches in the password protection facility indicate that it might be possible to bypass the system’s security. By analyzing the passwords contained in the z/OS PASSWORD file and comparing this information with appropriate data set control blocks (DSCBs), you can review information about mismatches in the password protection facility. To do this, you must have read access authority to the PASSWORD data set.
