PWDMIX and SYS$ACMW on VMS 7.3-2?
Trying to use characters supported by PWDMIX flag in UAF but does not seem to be accepted by SYS$ACMW service ACME$FC_CHANGE_PASSWORD, unable to find any updated information if SYS$ACMW does support any characters except captials and $ _
Anyone who know exactly the current status?

I didn't think ACME support on V7.3-2 was anything more than limited, or even only latent. Have you tried it on V8.2 or V8.3?
(remember V7.3-2 is getting quite old, and ACME is much younger)

Re: PWDMIX and SYS$ACMW on VMS 7.3-2?
I have tested PWDMIX and SET PASSWORD on OVMS 7.3-2 with a simple-minded policy routine. That works well if you just remember that your old password (entered before PWDMIX was set) appears to be all upcase even if you entered it in lowercase.
If SET PASSWORD and SYS$ACM have no common code, then sorry for adding a little fog to the landscape.

Re: PWDMIX and SYS$ACMW on VMS 7.3-2?
Maybe you should see the OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual for 7.3-2 (final) to refresh your memory a bit?
The SYS$ACM[E] System Service seems to be added at VMS 7.3-1 and updated 7.3-2 and so on until 8.3.
But there seems to be an mismatch between PWDMIX and lowercase support for SYS$ACM calls.

Re: PWDMIX and SYS$ACMW on VMS 7.3-2?
I thought V7.3-1 and -2 had a kind of "Early Adopter" status, and even in V8.2 and V8.3, ACME isn't yet "complete" - still some work to do in implementing agents?
Anyway, what I've been able to find is this comment:
"ACME$_NEW_PASSWORD_1
The ACME$_NEW_PASSWORD_1 item code is an input item code. It specifies the new primary password for a password change operation. The buffer must contain a password string. The case of this string will be preserved in delivery to ACME agents. Each ACME agent has its own policy regarding whether password strings are treated in a case sensitive or a case-insensitive manner."
(similar text about case sensitivity for several other password related items)
So that leads to the question about what ACME agent is receiving your change password request, and how it determines case sensitivity?
Have you tried your code on V8.2 or V8.3?

Re: PWDMIX and SYS$ACMW on VMS 7.3-2?
$ run SYS$ACMW2
Old password: **********
New password: **********
Verification: **********
%ACME-E-PWDINVCHAR, password contains invalid characters
When using lowercase characters and works using capitals, the documentation is the same in 7.3-2 and 8.3
