ATBMINO and COMUPASS Sample Programs

To maintain passwords remotely, you may install the ATBMINO and COMUPASS sample programs on your platform. While these samples are designed to run on an OS/2 workstation, they can modified to meet the needs of any platform or installation. For information on how to install the sample programs, see How to Install the Sample Programs that Maintain Passwords.

The ATBMINO and COMUPASS programs are described below:

ATBMINO

A SNA service transaction program (TP) that does the following:

Accepts notification of an expired MVS password from a server LU running APPC/MVS
Notifies the user of an expired password by displaying a pop-up panel on the workstation.
Invokes the COMUPASS sample program, if the user decides to change an expired password immediately.

The ATBMINO sample program is an implementation of SNA service TP X'30F0F5F2'.

COMUPASS

A TP that does the following:

Prompts the user for information needed to change the user's password in the security product database on APPC/MVS
Requests that the partner LU change the password in its security database.

Users can use the COMUPASS program to update an APPC/MVS password at any time, whether the password has expired or not.
