Error description
You are using your web browser to access CICS. DFHWBPW handles password and pass phrase changes. It is returning an HTTP 500 error similar to the following: . 500 CICS Web Interface implementation error An implementation error occurred. EIBFN=740C EIBRESP=00022 EIBRESP2=00001 . The EIBFN is for a CHANGE PHRASE command. In CICS 4.1 it would be a CHANGE PASSWORD command. The RESP and RESP2 values will vary depending on the error returned. . The only combinations of RESP and RESP2 that return a meaningful, interpreted text message in the browser are . EIBRESP = 70 = NOTAUTH EIBRESP2 = 2 The supplied password or password phrase is wrong. If the external security manager is RACF, the revoke count maintained by RACF is incremented. 4 The new password or password phrase is not acceptable. 19 The user ID is revoked. . All the other combination of RESP and RESP2 values get the HTTP 500 response. It would be better to provide an interpreted, meaningful text message instead of just the internal return codes. . . gAdditional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): KIXREVEPH
