Does the application really need a password? Could you make the USERID protected and thereby eliminate any possibility of it being revoked?

Somebody knows if there is an alternate way to proctect a password of a userid, this means that the userId is for a GroupWise application; but as always happen, this user sometimes is used to try to signin to the platform (this "must be" not allowed by "policies") due to the reason that is the userid of the product. Actually this user has the RACF Pass-Interval N/A but you agree that if anybody knows this user and try to use to signin on the application after 3 attempts must be revoked; this represents a big problem because many services and applications uses this userid to interact with GroupWise application. I´ve thinking in the properly options of z/OS to search for a schema that allows to protect the userid and the password DO NOT be ruled by a attempts policie (Global options, APFs, etc); in few words, if anybody try to use this user, after many attepmts the userid do not get a revoked status, it is this possible? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
