A user with a pass phrase must also have a password. When RACF is called to
validate either, it uses the length of the data to determine which it is
validating.
Consequently, a user with a pass phrase need not ever use it. The password
will always work. (I imagine the password authentication exits could be used
to prohibit using the password.)
No. RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY has two mutually-exclusive sets of keywords:
a) PASSWRD= and NEWPASS= and b) PHRASE= and NEWPHRASE=.
If the issuer of RACROUTE chooses to implement passphrases, then
passwords need not be supported at all.
