B22:  IGNORE_PASSWORD_REQUIRED 
The IGNORE_PASSWORD_REQUIRED keyword allows XUA to bypass internal 
"password required" settings of some other-than-TACL programs; for example, 
NDMCOM. This setting works only when the program is calling 
USER_AUTHENTICATE_ with option bit 7 set, which can be set using the “OPT 7” 
command when testing in What-if mode.  
When IGNORE_PASSWORD_REQUIRED is set to ON, the XUA rules for password 
requirements will override the programs wishes.  
When IGNORE_PASSWORD_REQUIRED is set to OFF, the program’s request that a 
password be required will be honored, and a good password will be required to logon. 
Syntax: 
IGNORE_PASSWORD_REQUIRED  {ON | OFF} 
Example 1 below will allow members of the ACLGROUP $SUPER to logon as any 
member of $NDM-OPER to the NDMCOM without supplying a password.
