The only "password" references relevant to LU 6.2 of which I am aware
are those subsumed by FMH-5 processing during conversation allocation
on an existing conversation.  The entire description of the use of
such fields in the Programming for LU 6.2 manual consists of, "For
FMH-5s supplied as part of the conversation allocation, VTAM checks:
... That security subfields, if present, are accepted by the partner LU.
... For FMH-5s received from another LU, VTAM also checks:
... That security subfields, if present, are accepted by the application."

This suggests to me that "password" management is not part of LU 6.2
proper, but rather is handled by applications and/or transaction
processing programs and is application specific.

Hope this helps,
