Automatic Password Generation After Expiration

CA Top Secret can be requested to randomly generate a new password whenever a user attempts to signon after his password has expired. This capability is turned on through the NEWPW control option, by specifying NEWPW(RN).

Note: This option only works when the RNDPW control option is turned ON.

Users whose passwords have been automatically generated by CA Top Secret, can still change passwords at any time, unless prevented from doing so by NOPWCHG or NEWPW(NU), discussed on the following page.
