Use the $acm system service, or -- better -- use standard OpenVMS system security attributes including security identifiers or such.
Verifying a password directly can introduce security problems, permitting security attacks and (if not implemented entirely
correctly) bypassing standard security defenses including auditing and evasion.
The OpenVMS Wizard would recommend review of the security manual, and would generally avoid directly verifying the password within an application.
