PSWDPHR Keyword—Test Password Phrase

Valid on z/OS 1.8 and above.

Use the PSWDPHR keyword to allow an ACID to sign on with a password phrase when PSWDPHRASE is set OFF.

Note: z/OS 1.10 supports password phrases for TSO signon but changes are required to the IKJTSOxx member in SYS1.PARMLIB. For more information, see IBM's z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.

For testing purposes, use the PSWDPHR keyword to add password phrases to many ACIDs, but activate those with PSWDPHR only. Then, when satisfied with the PSWDPHR ACID behavior, activate PHRASE for all administered ACIDs by setting PSWDPHRASE to ON.

This keyword is used with:

• The commands CREATE, ADDTO, REMOVE, and WHOHAS
• ACID types User, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, SCA, and MSCA
• ACID(MAINTAIN) authority

This keyword has the format

TSS ADDTO(acid) PSWDPHR

Example: PSWDPHR keyword

This example adds a password phrase to ACID WOODY and gives the ACID the ability to access the phrase even when PSWDPHRASE(OFF) is set:

TSS ADD(WOODY) PHRASE('Robin Hood Robin Hood riding thru the glen')
               PSWDPHR
