Verifying Passwords with Another Security System

To verify logon passwords that users enter while executing CA VM:Director commands, use the CHKPASS user exit. This user exit is essential for sites that use security packages where the logon password is not stored in the CP directory. The user exit coding can verify for valid passwords using the security package, instead of looking in the source directory for the user ID’s password.

Note: For more information about the CHKPASS user exit, see the chapter "User Exit Reference" in the Reference Guide.
