Well, the routine I wrote can handle a user, password or passphrase and optionally an APPL to verify against. So, even though there are a lot of options to do it different, I was more looking for ways how such a 'service routine' that needs apf authorization could be used from a non-authorized caller. The __passwd routine can do it, but it requires program controlled environment and python doesn't seem to be defined as program controlled and I don't want to 'just' enable it. Also, the relation between APF authorisation and program control (if any) still eludes me, and if there is no relation then I don't understand how __passwd can check a password if the environment is not apf authorized. I hope that someone can explain how that works.
Kind regards, Erik.
