Altering the Sign on Password

The ALTER SIGNON PASSWORD command changes the password required during sign on for subsequent CA Ideal sessions. You can also change this password on the User Definition fill‑in. The ALTER SIGNON PASSWORD command lets you change your own password without editing the User Definition fill‑in; however, the new password is reflected in the User Definition fill‑in. You can use the ALTER SIGNON PASSWORD command to change a user definition in PROD status. For more information about ALTER SIGNON PASSWORD command, see the Command Reference Guide.

Note: If your site uses external security to control access to CA Ideal, the CA Ideal password is not verified during sign on.
