I implemented a web page on VM that uses a corporate single sign on and
one-time password server that acts as a proxy.

If you come to my password reset page the wrong way, it redirects the
browser to the SSO page. Once authenticated that proxy adds some useful
headers to the https request.

When my page finally gets the request it sees the info added by the proxy
and puts up a page listing all userids owned by that person and let’s them
provide a new password for one or any/all of them in one shot.

It also unlocks various “terminal lockout” conditions.

The web server id that handles that uses a Diag A0 subcode 60 (vmsecure) to
effect the change. It is also configured to allow the change without the
current password. That allows people to reset forgotten passwords or set an
initial password for newly created userids.

One caveat…. We have a global workforce and sometimes the ascii/ebcdic
translation is different than their terminal emulator. That results in
setting the password fine for web access things but failing for 3270
emulation things.

I haven’t taken the time to sort that out yet. It’s a minor issue.
