CHNGPASS=YES | NO

Required Arguments

YES

prompts for a change of the user password.

NO

suppresses a prompt for a change of the user password. This is the default.

Details

When ACL security is enabled, a server user sometimes has to change his password. The CHNGPASS= option is one way to make a password change. The server validates the old password then saves the password supplied at the prompt in the password database.

Example

Specify a prompt to change the password of the user TEMPHIRE.

libname mylib sasspds 'spdsdata'
   user='temphire'
   password='whizbang'
   chngpass=yes;

Note: If you are using LDAP user authentication, and you create a user connection that uses the CHNGPASS= LIBNAME statement option, the user password will not be changed. If you are using LDAP authentication and want to change a user password, follow the operating system procedures to change a user password. Then check with your LDAP server administrator to ensure that the LDAP database also records password changes.
