sys$acm dialogue mode iteration limit

[Mark Itzcovitz]

The Authentication and Credential Management System Service (sys$acm) has an iteration limit for non-privileged processes calling sys$acm in dialogue mode. This generates the error ACME$_DIALOGUELM when the limit is exceeded.

I can't find anything that even hints that the limit is configurable - does anyone know any different. I would like to reduce the limit in my application.

Thanks,

Mark
