TRS clients can change their own host password by executing this RPC, where newpwd is the new host password for the client:
exec sgw_pemchpwd newpwd, newpwd
You must be logged in as the user whose password you want to change. Depending on whether security is enabled, TRS passes one of the following to the PEM server:
The client’s HOST_LOGIN and HOST_PWD, as defined by sgw_addlog or by a previous sgw_pemchpwd call, if security is enabled (Security=yes)
The user ID and password that the client used to log on to TRS, if security is off (Security=no)
The user ID, current password, and new password must be up to 8 characters. You must enter the new password twice, as shown in the preceding syntax example.
This operation updates a user’s host password at the mainframe security system, and, when TRS security is enabled, it also updates the user’s HOST_PWD at the TRS security level.
Only the individual user can change his or her password on the host; the TRS administrator cannot perform this task.
When security is not enabled, changing the host password
does not change the password under which are currently logged in.
When you change your host password, you cannot execute any RPCs
until you log out of TRS and log in with the correct password.
