    This requirement has been re-assessed. It is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12-24 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    This is a candidate for a future release.

    Sorry for the delay in replying - I want to change an expired password on the server using CICS Explorer but any saved password being updated and used at the same time would be great!

    Is it that you want to change your password on the server, using CICS Explorer, or that you want to change the password Explorer is using to authenticate?
