ACFRPTPW - A report that can be run against the SMF data. This will show many different reasons as to why a logon wasn't any good. ie - password not matched, invalid syntax, password expired. There is a pre-processor utility as generally ACF2 logs to a SMF record ( we're 230 ) and the pre-processor breaks them out for the various reports. This can be done via the ISPF panels as well as batch jobs. That I know of, and we have users timing out here all the time, ACF2 does not cut an entry for that.

We are assisting a customer in trying to determine why they are getting so many ‘Invalid 
Password\Authority’ ("P") ACF2 SMF records.  It seems like most of these records are 
being written when there is no invalid passwords by the user. It appears after a successful login 
after idle timeout, ACF2 is cutting an ‘Invalid Password\Authority’ ("P") SMF record.  
Can anyone help us to identify a field and values in the SMF record that would allow us to 
distinguish between a true “invalid password” and a false-positive after a user is timed out?
