Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All ITMS/ENGINE users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: TACMD LOGIN TO A Z/OS HUB USING A MIXED * * CASE PASSWORD FAILS. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF. * **************************************************************** The ENGINE folds the USERID and the PASSWORD to upper case uppercase because FOLD(YES) is the default setting.
Problem conclusion
In order to use mixed case passwords, FOLD(NO) must be specified in the KDSINNAM parameters. This prevents the ENGINE from folding the USERID and PASSWORD to upper case. However, a lowercase or mixed case USERID is still rejected rejected by the security application on the HTEMS. To solve this problem, the code was change to always fold the USERID to upper case.
