Wherein I read:
Note: As suggested by RACF, if you use a mix of applications
that do an do not support mixed-case passwords, do not
activate the SETROPTS PASSWORD(MIXEDCASE) option in RACF and
do not activate MIXCASE in NVAS.
???
I don't understand how this works. I would expect that if
the SETROPTS PASSWORD(MIXEDCASE) option in RACF is inactive, the
setting of MIXCASE in NVAS should have no effect and be irrelevant.
What do these settings actually do? How do they interact? what
is the (adverse) effect of leaving one active and the other
inactive?
