&PSWD Variable Becomes Unusable

After a user signs on using a pass ticket, the &PSWD variable becomes unusable. This is true because the product cannot distinguish a pass ticket from a password, and will store the pass ticket as if it were a password. But, because the pass ticket is good for one signon only, it thereafter becomes invalid, and must be replaced with a new pass ticket for each subsequent session initiation. Any attempt to use the &PSWD variable as is results in password rejection.
