Re: AS400 Automatic Sending of New Password?

John:

I _never_ said that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act legislation prohibits e-mailing passwords.

What I was getting at is that e-mailing passwords in the clear in unencrypted e-mail over the internet is inherently unsafe, unless you are using something like Lotus Notes or some other e-mail software that digitally signs e-mail messages and encrypts the body of the messages.

Mark,

There is no prohibition of emailing passwords in the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation (as a matter of fact, I don't even think the word "computer" is even referenced in the bill).
E-mailing passwords does contain some risk, but it is certainly a risk that can be mitigated with a wide assortment of compensating controls.
