The PASSWORD parameter is the password defined for a partner logical unit (LU) and used on a partner LU basis. One LU-LU password is established between each LU pair. The password is converted to a 16-character hexadecimal string by the encryption process.
Note:
Since this value is encrypted, you should not attempt to enter this value directly into the ACG file. The value should only be entered using the SNA Node Configuration application.

This parameter is required.

LU-LU passwords are kept secure by the workstation. They are not sent outside the workstation, nor can a program or user obtain them from the workstation.
