Verifying the Identity of the Command Originator Using the CHKPASS User Exit

CA VM:Director protects against commands issued from unattended terminals by prompting for and checking passwords during command execution. With an ESM in place, passwords are controlled by the security manager rather than by CA VM:Director. To match passwords against those controlled by the security manager, use the CHKPASS user exit. The provided sample exit program (VMXEXIT9 XASSEMBL) can be compiled and installed without any changes to provide this capability.
