Explanation
The APASSWORD command allows the accesscode password to be changed for the current accesscode of a session.
To change accesscode passwords, all or part of the required information can be entered with the APASSWORD command. Any information not initially provided is requested by CANDE. For verification purposes, the <new apassword> (new accesscode password) must be entered twice.
To provide complete information, the following would be entered:
APASSWORD <old apassword> <new apassword> <new apassword>
This form changes the user's accesscode password from the current accesscode password (<old apassword>) to a new accesscode password (<new apassword>).
On systems with the Secure Access Control Module or Password Management security packages, the accesscode passwords must be entered on separate lines (and usually in protected fields), if the security option SECUREPASSWORD is set. The old and new passwords must be entered on lines that are separate from the command and from each other.
If APASSWORD or any other subset of the complete command is entered, CANDE prompts the rest of the command.
| Note: | If the CASESENSITIVEPW security option is set, passwords must be entered in a case-sensitive form. |
For additional information about accesscode passwords, refer to User Identification and Logging On.
Any CANDE schedule sessions inherit the accesscode of the CANDE session. The APASSWORD command is not valid within a CANDE schedule session. If a schedule session contains an ACCESS command with an invalid accesscode, the schedule session is aborted.
CANDE includes the accesscode in all log records about a session, particularly in log-on and log-off records.
Examples
