PWHISTORY
PWHISTORY= passwords-retained
specifies the number of passwords retained for a user. The default value is 0. You
can specify a value from 0 through 32.
If you specify a value of 0, NonStop NET/MASTER MS does not keep a record of
the passwords used by a user and does not check for reuse. If you specify a value
from 1 through 32, NonStop NET/MASTER MS keeps a record of the specified
number of passwords used by a user; if a user attempts to reuse any password of
which NonStop NET/MASTER MS has a record, the attempt is rejected.
Considerations
You can set this system parameter only during execution of the INIT NCL
procedure (before users are permitted to log on to the system).
This system parameter has no effect if there is a security exit that replaces the User
ID Management Services (UMS) functions.
Example
The following example specifies a password retention list of 16:
