ABSTRACT:
A system (8) for synchronizing a user password between mainframe (10) and alternative (11, 12) computer operating environments includes a mainframe access module (20) that receives a current user password from an associated mainframe client computer (22) and provides a user with access to selected applications or data in the mainframe operating environment (10) according to the current user password. The mainframe access module (20) also receives a new user password in response to providing the access and communicates the new user password. A mainframe platform (14, 16, 18) coupled to the mainframe access module (20) receives the new user password, stores the new user password, and communicates the new user password. A messaging platform (24, 26, 28) coupled to the mainframe platform receives the new user password from the mainframe platform (14, 16, 18) and communicates a broadcast message containing the new user password. Multiple alternative platforms (30, 36) each coupled to the messaging platform (24, 26, 28) receive the broadcast message from the messaging platform (24, 26, 28) and store the new user password to synchronize the new user password between the mainframe (10) and alternative (11, 12) computer operating environments. Each alternative platform (30, 36) is capable of receiving the new user password from an associated alternative platform client computer (34, 40) and, in response, providing the user with access to the alternative platform client computer (34, 40).
