The problem is, how do you change your password over the network.  This
exit would require that your password be sent in clear text across the
network, so it could validate the content, if it were already encrypted,
then it doesn't know what the input was.

That's why ops-nav doesn't have it (IMO)..

Rob,

I agree that you're probably right.  But this exit program is a
user-written program which receives the old and new passwords as clear
parameters and could do what it wants with them, including writing them
to a database. While adding an exit point requires a little more
sophistication to implement than just changing a system value, it
requires the same level of authority (*ALLOBJ and *SECADM) as changing
the QPWDVLDPGM system value.

What am I missing?

Andy
