Function

For users operating in interactive mode you use the MODIFY-SECURITY statement to change the maximum permissible number of password violations by a CALL-DML user.

A reduction of the maximum number means that the user is locked earlier in the event of password violations. For users with more password violations than the new maximum number this means that they are immediately locked for this DBH session if they have not opened any logical file.

Increasing the maximum number has no effect on locked users whose number of password violations already exceeds the new maximum number. On the other hand, locked users who are guilty of fewer password violations than the new maximum number are now permitted to work with the DBH again. Such a user can also perform a user close. It is no longer necessary to have the system administrator cancel this lock.

This administration statement has no effect on batch programs.
