Re: Who is on V7R6?

Just to toss in a squirrel for distraction...
CHGUSRPRF
Authentication methods . . . . .   *NONE         *SAME, *NONE, *TOTP,
*REGFAC
*TOTP is the built in method.
*REGFAC is basically a method for tool vendors to provide an alternative
for those who insist upon text messages, email, push notifications, etc.
You (or the vendor) writes a program that is used within WRKREGINF to
handle the MFA.

Some advantages of *TOTP.
- No vendor or additional programming required
- Will work when system is in a fully restricted state and communications
are cut off.
- Doesn't send codes through the internet which can be intercepted.
