Note 1 - The user name is case sensitive!!! (We suggest to use only lowercase letters)

3. Update an entry
To update an entry
- The user name, the current password, the person name and the e-mail address must always be specified
- Enter a new password only if you want to change it

4. Reset an entry
You cannot use the update function to change an user password if you do not know its current password.
If also the user does not recall his password, either you delete and re-create that entry, or jou reset it.
When you reset an entry, a new password is automatically assigned by the program.

5. WRKVLDL vs *ADMIN
- WRKVLDL is easier to be used and requires less setup time than *ADMIN.
- WRKVLDL is more secure than *ADMIN. Infact, while WRKVLDL requires the user to type the current password for updating
a validation list entry, *ADMIN does not.
- However, WRKVLDL cannot update a validation entry previously created/updated through *ADMIN, as it
cannot retrieve its current password and compare it with the one entered by the user.
