Re: VSCS PSW

Alan,

I see the confusion.
We have Multsess installed on MVS. That allows us to connect to all our MVS
and VM from 1 terminal. Users who have to work on VM have the same logon as
in MVS. Logon this way is made through CDRS. SO when a user press say 1 on
MVS his logon  password is propagated through SNA/VSCS, so he never sees
the logo screen. He sees a line 'LOGON userid password'. It's here 'my pgm'
takes the hand to make the password invisible when this line appears on the
screen. Then just after the profile exec executes itself.
I would upgrade to zVM530 on July and I would not be locked if this pgm
doesn't work anymore.

I joined the pgm as an attachement. It is BIN FIX 1024 and should be COPY
(unpa after all.

 I'm not understanding, Alain.  The password field on the logo is not
 visible.
 
 Where is this assembler program used and how was it installed?

This list doesn't support attachments.

You didn't answer Alan's question as to where this program runs.

Alain,

Like Alan, I am confused.

Please clarify what is it that you want to be invisible.  The normal
login screen has 3 lines.  Userid, password  command.  As set up by
default for as far back as I can recall the data portion of the
Password line is non-display.  (Non-display == invisible).

Is that what you want?  If so, just remove your mod and you have it.
Or for some reason do you also want the word Password to be invisible?
If thats what you want (Why?) you can do it by twiddling the logos.  
Its been a while and I don't recall exactly where, but in your SYSTEM
CONFIG file there is a pointer to the logo config files.
