NNM0766 PASSWORD FOR userid NOT CHANGED - errtext
Cause. An attempt to change the password of the user failed.
userid is the ID of the user whose password was not changed.
errtext is one of the following:
FILE SYSTEM ERROR errno
The error is a Guardian file-system error. errno is the error number.
INCORRECT CURRENT PASSWORD
An incorrect current password was specified.
INVALID NEW PASSWORD
An incorrect new password was specified. The new password must satisfy the
following criteria:
Different from the current password.
Different from the recorded list of past passwords. The PWHISTORY system
parameter specifies the number of past passwords to be recorded.
Length up to eight characters. The PWMIN system parameter specifies the
minimum length.
Only alphanumeric characters, @, #, or $ are allowed in the password.
The password is not the same as, or a subset of, the user ID. For example, if
the user ID is NMTRL, then passwords such as nmtrl, nmt, rl, and mtr are
invalid.
The user ID does not form part of the password. For example, if the user ID is
NMTRL, then passwords such as nmtrl01, anmtrl1, and 01nmtrl are invalid.
The password is not the same as, or a subset of, the concatenated user name.
For example, if the user name is Russell Lucas, then passwords such as russell,
rus, lucas, and lluca are invalid.
The user name components do not form part of the password. For example, if
the the user name is Russell Lucas, the components are Russell and Lucas, and
passwords such as russello, trussell, and rlucas are invalid.
Not the initials of the user's name.
Not more than two consecutive repeating characters: for example, aa is valid
but aaa is invalid.
Effect. The password is not changed.
Recovery. Use the error text to determine the appropriate action to take. If there was a
file-system error, refer the message to your system manager.
