OS/400 trigger

Bravura Pass can intercept password changes on an IBM OS/400 system. This is done by installing an exit program, pspwdexit_v5r4m0 or pspwdexit_v7r1m0 , which implements the QIBM_QSY_VLD_PASSWRD exit point on the OS/400 system. The exit program informs Bravura Pass when a password is changed. It also allows Bravura Pass to check who is changing whose password. If a user tries to change another user’s password, the attempt is blocked and a warning is sent to a specified administrator.

Bravura Pass ships with two exit programs for OS/400, pspwdexit_v5r4m0 for the IBM i7.1 operating system and pspwdexit_v7r1m0 for the IBM i7.2 operating system.

This chapter details how to configure transparent password synchronization on an OS/400 system by:

  1. Creating and applying a password policy

  2. Installing and configuring pspwdexit

  3. Configuring the Password Manager service (idpm )

  4. Verifying the configuration

These steps are detailed in the sections that follow.

This chapter assumes you have set up an OS400 target system and tested its configuration according to IBM OS/400 Server in Connector Pack documentation .
