If these APARs are installed CICS will call a new callable service IRRSPW00 to for password authentication. This service will be used for basic authentication requests, VERIFY PASSWORD, VERIFY PHRASE and SIGNON requests. The service will run on open TCBs, or will switch to an L8 TCB rather than the RO TCB. The use of the Enhanced Password capability is described in the RACF documentation. Additional Keywords: RACFPWENCR/K
