    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When using the sign on exit ISZE21PH any changes to any
    passphrases after a reconnect do not work as intended.
    RACF is updated correctly with the new passphrase but
    the Session Manager variable t_phrase is not updated.
    Normal logons and updates to passwords are not affected.
    

Problem conclusion

  • On a reconnect the original User information, which contains
    any passphrase, is reinstated. This caused any new passphrase
    entered on reconnect to be lost.
    This situation is now catered for.
