OS/400 Password Agent Parameter Must be Set Correctly

The "pwd_case_action" parameter must have the value set correctly for it to work. Correct values include:

• pwd_case_action = pwd_case_unchanged
• pwd_case_action = pwd_to_uppercase
• pwd_case_action = pwd_to_lowercase

If pwd_case_action = [invalid value] the password will be forced to uppercase.

Note: When setting the flag pwd_case_action to pwd_to_uppercase or pwd_to_lowercase in the OS400 PSA configuration file, the password might not be propagated back to the global user if the supplied passwords are not compliant to the password policy settings in Provisioning Server. For example, some password policies may require the password values to at least contain 1 uppercase or lowercase value.
