Changing Passwords

By default, CA Top Secret allows users to change their passwords. Whenever a password is changed, CA Top Secret updates the user’s Security Record. Passwords may also be changed by security administrators, through the TSS ADDTO and REPLACE functions. For example, suppose a security administrator wants to change USER01’s password from SUNNY to CLOUDY. He would enter:

TSS ADD(USER01) PAS(CLOUDY)

Note: Remember, an administrator must have ACID(MAINTAIN) authority and the necessary administrative scope, in order to change a user’s password.
