Configuring the DB2 Connect Workstation for Password Expiration Management

How you configure your workstation for password expiration management depends on the communications subsystem you are using:

• If you are using the Wall Data Rumba, or Communications Server for OS/2 or Communications Manager/2 on OS/2, the only information you need to provide is the LU of the Password Expiration Management program on the host, which your VTAM administrator can provide. Enter this as follows:

  On the CCA:

  1. Select a database that resides on the host and that you access through APPC.

     The Password button appears.

  2. Click the Password button.

  3. Fill in the dialog box that appears, then click on OK.

  4. Exit from the CCA.

• If you are not using the Wall Data Rumba, Communications Server for OS/2 or Communications Manager/2, you need to define a CPI-C symbolic destination name. Follow the instructions provided with your communications product documentation. You will need to provide the following information (get the values from your VTAM administrator). Enter the following:

  • Network name

  • LU name

    You must use the following values as given:

  • TP name: X'06'301. Some products, such as the CCA, require that you enter this name in its hexadecimal representation: x'06F3F0F1'

  • Security: NONE

  After you have defined the CPI-C symbolic destination name for Password Expiration Management, enter it in the Client Configuration Assistant.
