Password security

Password security requires that a transaction or a command that is entered at a terminal have a password. This allows you to implement secondary security to verify that the user who is issuing a specific transaction or command is authorized to do so.

Using RACF and a security profile based on user IDs

RACF® provides the REVERIFY option, which requires your password to be entered when a command or a transaction is entered. You need to use RACF for signon authorization and include the REVERIFY parameter as APPLDATA when defining the transaction or command to RACF. You must specify RVFY=Y as an execution parameter in order to use REVERIFY.
