Might also mention the passwords' role in the UADS structure. A user could have multiple passwords, and was limited to the accounts and procedures under the password he logged on with. There is no RACF equivalent.

Encrypt like everyone is.' -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: 11 May 2022 23:02 To: [email protected] Subject: The Story of Mainframe Passwords Reg Harbeck (a name many of you should recognize) and I are putting together a presentation on the above subject. We would appreciate any material that anyone thought could be included. (I guess I should get all lawyerly here and say if you send it to us you grant us permission to use it.) Note that we specifically avoided calling it the HISTORY of mainframe passwords. We are aiming at casting a much wider net than a bunch of "and then mixed case came along in 20__." The presentation is intended to be fun, not a password tutorial. If you wanted to write me off this list it's charlesm at mcn dot org. Thanks!
