why do you not consider to use a token based authentication like RSA
SecurID ?
This is avaliable for a lot of different platforms (also for MPE although
not mentioned on RSA internet resources) and will improve the security on
your different platforms.

Please respond to

Thanks a lot Tom for your help.
I am a Software Consultant working for a Security company and we deal in
password resets via different means.
I write adapters so that using a general GUI a person can reset his/her
password on different systems like Windows NT, Active Directory/Win 2k,
RACF, and also create a wrapper over other security systems like Control
SA,
Courion, Netegrity etc....
We need to build an adapter for HP3000 where a user can change his/her
password and so I need to do some ground work to find whether it is
possible
or not and what are the requirements.
Can you guide me to the right place to find more details about the same?
Regards,
Anurag
