/GENERATE

 /GENERATE
 /GENERATE=CURRENT
 /GENERATE=PRIMARY
 /GENERATE=SECONDARY
 /GENERATE=BOTH
 /GENERATE=ALL

 Generate a random password.  The formats of the passwords is the same
 as for the DCL SET PASSWORD /GENERATE command.

/MODIFY_IDENTIFIER

 /[NO]MODIFY_IDENTIFIER

 Controls whether the identifier corresponding to the specified username
 in the rights database is modified.  The default is /MODIFY_IDENTIFIER.

/PASSWORD

 /PASSWORD=(password [,password2])
 /NOPASSWORD

 Password(s) for login.  Must be from 0 to 31 characters in length, and
 must be composed of alphanumeric characters, dollar signs, and underscores.

 To set the first password with no second password, specify

            /PASSWORD=password

 To set both passwords, specify

            /PASSWORD=(password, password2)

 To set only the first password leaving the second alone, specify

            /PASSWORD=(password, "")

 To set only the second password leaving the first alone, specify

            /PASSWORD=("", password2)

 To clear the second password leaving the first alone, specify

            /PASSWORD=""

 To clear both passwords, specify

            /NOPASSWORD

 It is important to specify new passwords for a renamed record.  Since
 the user name is taken as part of the input for password verification,
 the old password with the new user name will not yield the same result
 as the original password and user name, and the verification will fail.
