Forced Password Validation

CA Top Secret offers designated facilities the option of failing invalid passwords when operating in DORMANT or WARN mode. This option keeps a job from processing if a user omitted their password or supplied an incorrect one. Use the defaults for this option to force password validation in all modes for all online facilities.

To implement forced password validation:

In DORMANT mode, use the DORMPW sub-option of the FACILITY control option
In WARN mode, use the WARNPW sub-option of the FACILITY control option

All Control ACIDs and TSO users for which CA Top Secret maintains UADS information must always use their CA Top Secret passwords in all modes when signing on to TSO.

Examples: force password validation
