Enabling and disabling password caching

By default, when you login to the console or create connections, the console caches the password. However, you can enable and disable password caching.

To enable or disable password caching

1. Locate member #UPDADM in the SAMP library.
   The following figure shows the default member #UPDADM:

   //*--------------------------------------------------------------
   //*
   //*  Load the BMC HFS PDSE with SAMP library member to update the
   //*  Password Caching setting.
   //*
   //*--------------------------------------------------------------
   //UPDADM  EXEC PGM=UIMHFSL,REGION=0K,
   //  PARM='=b =version $UPDADM'
   //*   memname   Samplib control cards member, default is $HFSLOAD.
   //*             - $UPDADM is an update of Password cache member only
   //*   -t        Activate tracing to SYSPRINT
   //*
   //*--------------------------------------------------------------
   //STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.LOAD
   //*
   //*  SAS/C DD'S
   //SYSTERM  DD  SYSOUT=*
   //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
   //STGRPT   DD  SYSOUT=*

   //SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*
   //*
   //HFSPDSE  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.HFS
   //SAMP     DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.SAMP
2. Edit member #UPDADM, and change hlq to the high-level qualifier according to your site standards.
3. Save the edited member as UPDADMIN.

4. Locate member $ADMIN in the SAMP library.
   The following figure shows the default member $ADMIN:

   AllowPasswordCaching=true
5. Perform one of the following actions:
   • To disable password caching, set AllowPasswordCaching=false.
   • To enable password caching, set AllowPasswordCaching=true.
6. Save $ADMIN.
7. Submit UPDADMIN.
