Your password is verified by the User Access Maintenance Subsystem (UAMS).
The subsystem lets you change your password, or prompts you to change your password when it has expired after a period of time. You can change your password at any time after you log on to a region. The change becomes effective the next time you log on to the region.
Note: Your installation might have linked UAMS with an external security system, such as CA ACF2, CA Top Secret, and Resource Access Control Facility (RACF). If this is the case, your system administrator will tell you of any special considerations that apply when changing your password.
In a multisystem environment, the administrator might have set up the environment for the synchronization of UAMS user definitions and passwords. Changed passwords are then synchronized across connected regions.
To change your password
The User Password Maintenance panel appears.
Specifies your current password.
Specifies your new password.
Retype your new password, and press F3 (File).
The system changes your password.
Note: If UAMS synchronization is enabled, a Linked Regions UAMS Update Report panel appears when you save your changed password. The panel reports the success or failure of the password change in the connected regions.
Your user ID in UAMS determines your level of access to your product, the functions you can perform, and the commands you can issue.
If you attempt to perform an unauthorized function or issue an unauthorized command, an error message appears, telling you that you are not authorized to perform that function or issue that command.
