How to reset user who has been revoked due to inactivity with RACROUTE
Hi @all,
I've written a z/OS application that's able to reset the RACF password for a given user ID. This works fine. The only problem occurs when the user has been revoked because he's been inactive for the number of days specified using SETROPTS INACTIVE(nnn days). In this case calling
RACROUTE REQUEST=EXTRACT,TYPE=REPLA
doesn't work though the revoked flag seems to be reset. But when attempting to log on again the user still receives the information that his RACF account has been revoked. Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Miknosoft

I don't know the exact options (don't have a RACF manual in-front of me), but for a revoked ID you need to resume it. Â There is a difference between a password reset and user-id resume.
Did some quick reading. Â From what I have read the only way to resume a user is though the ALTUSER RESUME TSO command. Â You may want to search the RACF listserv archives (http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=racf-l&X=-) Â If you can't find something there you may want to join and then ask the question.
It's been 15 years since I did any programming with RACF interface.

Hello qiltjr,
thank you for your responses. The problem is that I cannot execute any TSO command, because the program is a password reset automaton. To me it appears that yesterday I've found the solution on my own. Obviously the last time and date of access to the system is stored in the user's RACF profile. Executing the RACROUTE REQUEST=EXTRACT,TYPE=REPLA
Anyhow - thank you for your response.
Kind regards,
Michael
