By including the AUTOPASS record in the SECURITY CONFIG file, the minidisk password changes every time the logon password changes. This means fewer passwords to remember and ensures that all passwords are changed regularly with no additional effort.
If CA VM Secure is configured for password phrase support, the AUTOPASS record cannot be used. A procedure to remove it is described in the password phrase support appendix in the Administration Guide.
You can use the MDISK user exit to force the use of this feature.
If you implement this AUTOPASS feature at your site, do not remove it without warning users who are using this feature; they will need to establish new minidisk passwords.
CA VM:Secure places the logon password in the MDISK password field of the CP object directory.
The source directory contains the keyword. If you back up the source to a CP source directory file and use the CMS DIRECTXA command against it, the CP object directory will contain the literal AUTOPASS password for the minidisk passwords instead of the user’s logon password.
Note: For more information, see MDISK User Exit in the chapter User Exit Reference.
