RE: AS400 Automatic Sending of New Password?






At a previous company, certain users would complain frequently about the
system not accepting their password and asking for a reset. I got fed up,
and wrote a routine to store the unencrypted password using an exit point
program.

After that, when users called, I could tell them what their password was.
"Oh yeah, that was it", they would say.

We don't have it automated, but we do have a resetuser type command also.
With pretty much the same hooks that you have. For the help desk people.
In fact I had an annoying user come up to me and ask me to reset him
because he muffed up his password. I said no problem, had him sit down,
called the help desk on speaker phone and had them do it.
Clue: Next time call the <expletive deleted> help desk and don't bother
me.

Ok please don't shoot me. You can write a simple program to monitor the
QSYSMSG message queue. This will use the retrieve message API. When
you retrieve the message for a disabled user ID you can evoke a program
to reset the user ID. I have a simple command/CLP call RESETUSER that
enables operators to reset passwords on all but *SECOFR/*SECADM
profiles. The CLP runs under *OWNER and is owned by QSECOFR. It does
not log who performed the reset. I am working on a RPG version to
record who changes whom for auditing purposes. I have restricted the
use of the command/program via an *AUTL. I also have a CLP that reads
the message queue. Contact me if you want a copy of the source.. Chris

If you can encrypt a password on SYSA and store it and use it on SYSB
(and you can) then the last 32 passwords would not be a requirement.

And that's the basis of the dictionary attack. IIRC, the same password
will always encrypt (likely a hash) to the same value. It has to if I
can move the encrypted values between machines. Therefore I build a nice
table of plaintext to encrypted/hashed passwords and read it backwards.
