Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM Session Manager V3.1 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Change of RACF password incorrectly * * saved so user can now not log on using * * the password that they entered. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF. * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
If RACF is not running in mixed case mode then all RACF passwords are upper cased when entered and when new passwords are changed and saved. With a German code page the user can enter a new password with the @ character as part of their password but this is incorrectly also being upper cased and becomes a number 5 when saved. 100Y ISZCINIT
