Suppressing CP Commands Using the PASSWORD User Exit

CA VM:Director uses several menus and commands that modify the passwords in the CP directory. These commands and menus have no influence on the passwords maintained by an ESM.

Examples of these commands are as follows:

• EXPIRE
• NOLOG
• PASSWORD
• USER
• MANAGE

For any installation that wants to suppress these commands, a simple implementation of the PASSWORD user exit can be used to suppress them. Use the following statements as a REXX implementation of the PASSWORD user exit:

/* PASSWORD User Exit */
push ‘Passwords are controlled by an external security manager.’
