Exit routine processing

The ICHPWX11 exit is invoked in the following ways:

Through RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY processing
If a new password phrase is to be processed, REQUEST=VERIFY performs the following functions after invoking ICHRIX01 (if ICHRIX01 is present):
- Validates the new password phrase for compliance with RACF's password phrase rules
- Verifies that the new password phrase differs from the current password phrase
- If the SETROPTS PASSWORD(HISTORY) option is active, verifies that the new password phrase differs from the previous password phrases
If the password phrase passes these checks, REQUEST=VERIFY invokes ICHPWX11.
Through the ADDUSER command
After parsing the command and checking the user's authorization, if the PHRASE keyword is specified ADDUSER validates the new password phrase for compliance with RACF's password phrase rules and invokes ICHPWX11.
Through the ALTUSER command
After parsing the command and checking the user's authorization, if the PHRASE keyword is specified ALTUSER validates the new password phrase for compliance with RACF's password phrase rules and invokes ICHPWX11.
Through the PASSWORD or PHRASE command
If the PHRASE keyword is specified, the command performs the following functions:
- Validates the new password phrase for compliance with RACF's password phrase rules
- Verifies that the new password phrase differs from the current password phrase
- If the SETROPTS PASSWORD(HISTORY) option is active, verifies that the new password phrase differs from the previous password phrases
If the password phrase passes these checks, the command invokes ICHPWX11.
