You received the following message in the console, @nn DFHCE3532 Your userid or password is invalid. Please retype both. This was caused by several violations due to many IDs revoked. You have since reinstated the IDs, you have an outstanding reply for the region, and doesn't seem to like any replies. . Here is what was happening, - A modify console command was issued, /f jobname,CESN userid=xxxx,ps=yyyy - an invalid password was issued, so an outstanding reply was written to the console: @12 DFHCE3532 Your userid or password is invalid. Please retype both. - Issued the following reply with the correct password, /r 12,userid=xxxx,ps=yyyy - it failed and received the following, R 87 SUPPRESSED - And a new outstanding reply appears in the console: @13 DFHCE3532 Your userid or password is invalid.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Cannot reply to DFHCE3532 WTOR issued * * by CESN when signing on at a console. * **************************************************************** CESN is being run from a console. An invalid userid or password value is supplied. DFHSNP issues message DFHCE3532 as a WTOR to request a new userid or password value. Its not clear how to reply to this WTOR with a value that DFHSNP will accept.
Problem conclusion
DFHSNP has been changed to issue DFHCE3532 as a WTO instead of a WTOR. The CESN task terminates and does not wait for a reply. CESN has to be invoked again with the correct userid and password values. The CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Knowledge Center will be updated in topic 'Using an MVS system console as a CICS terminal' in section 'Securing->Implementing RACF protection in a single CICS region' . Paragraph "If any of the data entered on the command is invalid, or if the password or password phrase is missing or expired, CICS prompts the user to enter the missing or invalid data by issuing a system message that requires a response (a WTOR message). Provide a response using the REPLY command. When CICS prompts for a password, it uses a security routing code to ensure that the response is not recorded on the console or in the system hardcopy log. To terminate the sign-on process, a REPLY command with a null operand is required. That is, enter: REPLY nn, with nothing after the comma, where nn is the number of the message corresponding to the reply. " has been replaced with "If any of the data entered on the command is invalid, or if the password or password phrase is missing or expired CICS terminates the signon attempt" The the System Action and User Response for message DFHCE3532 will be updated: System Action: The system waits for a response except when you are using an MVS console. User Response: Enter a valid userid and password. If you are using an MVS console, retry the request with valid credentials.
