For some reason - I don't know why, and I've been trying to determine this for several years - it often seems to require one or two minutes for a session to completely leave the system. Other times - far more often - the session is gone in a couple of seconds.
I blew a password change several years ago. We require it every 180 days, and we don't give a warning; it just leaps up and demands it. I did get a new expired password through the web site change password feature, but it was annoying. Now I track it. It's not difficult. Enter the TSO command LU your-userid. The LU command prints several lines of RACF gibberish. Look at the second line.
DEFAULT-GROUP=USERG02 PASSDATE=15.071 PASS-INTERVAL=180
PASSDATE is the date of the last password change. PASS-INTERVAL is the number of days a password is valid.15.071+180 = 15.251 is the date your password expires. Converting 15.251 to a regular date is a pain in the you know where. If I did it right, it's September 8, so that password will have to be changed September 8.
