Phase 2 - Diagnostic Procedures › Facility Access › Sign-on Passwords not being Checked › STEP 3

STEP 3

Is facility in DORMANT mode with the NODORMPW attribute?

• If YES, consider that DORMANT mode, in combination with NODORMPW, allows a user to bypass password security checking. Consider using the TSS PERMIT command to move the user to a more restrictive security mode, IMPL or FAIL. This prohibits a user from accessing a facility unless explicitly authorized. Or assign the DORMPW attribute to the facility and TSS MODIFY('FAC(fac=DORMPW)'). This forces defined users and jobs to enter their correct passwords while in DORMANT mode. Go to STEP 7.
• If NO, go to STEP 5.
