I know that Passphrases can be used to signon to CICS and TSO.
TSS does allow for both Passwords and Passphrases depending.
I have NEVER turned on Passphrases in RACF for anything.
Does RACF support Passwords and PassPhrases at the Sametime
On an either or basis
IMHO the passphrases are *the easiest* thing to implement. I mean all
RACF password-related enhancements since 1999 (mixed case, special
characters).
You can enable it for any user you choose.
Passphrases are supported anywhere except old developed in house
applications. TSO, CICS, FTP, console, OMEGAMON, etc. do support
passphrases.
The only disadvantage I know:
A user cannot decide to switch from password to passphrase. It has to be
done by RACF admin.
BTW: a user can have *both* passphrase and password. The second one can
be understood as emergency one.
