*                      password when run with AUTH=VERIFY_UOW  *
*                      if the password is not given in upper   *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The password provided to the CICS MQ True is used unchanged when
passed to the security manager for authentication.  If it
contains lowercase characters and mixed case password support is
inactive then messages DFHMQ0749E and ICH408I will report an
authentication failure.

Keywords: msgDFHMQ0749E MQ0749E

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • DFHMQTRU has been changed to uppercase the password if mixed
case password support is inactive.
