Password Encryption |
|
When the password encryption feature is enabled by the system manager, new passwords are automatically encrypted the first time they are entered in the system. This applies to all passwords: account, group, and user. Device passwords are always encrypted, whether encryption is enabled or not. The MPE/iX commands that display passwords (:LISTUSER, :LISTGROUP, and :LISTACCT) display them in encrypted form. Passwords are encrypted in such a way that even privileged users can not recover a forgotten password. If you forget your password, you will have to pick a new one. MPE/iX lets your system gradually convert from unencrypted to encrypted passwords by allowing both to exist side by side. The system keeps track of which passwords are encrypted and which are not. Old passwords stay unencrypted. As new passwords are added or old ones changed, the system encrypts them automatically.
