Changing Long Passwords

After the Long Password feature is enabled, administrators and users are directed to P98LPSEC application instead of P98OWSEC to update long passwords. Users and administrators can update long passwords according to the rules defined in the Global Password Policy form.

To update a long password:

  1. On Work With User Security (P98LPSEC), to change the password of a user, enter the user ID of the user in the User ID/Role field and click the Find button.

    You can also enter a long user ID if the system has been enabled for long user IDs.

  2. On the tree in the left area, select the user ID.

  3. From the Form menu, select Admin Passwords Rev.

  4. On Administration Password Revisions, complete the following items:

    • User ID. This field contains the user ID selected on the Work With User Security form.

    • New Password. Enter a new password.

    • New Password - Verify. Enter the password again to verify it.

    • Force Immediate Password Change. Click this check box to force the user to change the password during the next sign-in.

    • Change Password in Scheduler Table. This check box is selected by default. This ensures that the new password is accepted by the Scheduler application.

  5. Click OK.
