Configuring Password Control
1
PASSWORD-LOWERCASE-REQUIRED {ON / OFF}
Specifies whether a user's password will be enforced to have at least one
lowercase character. The initial value is OFF.
1
PASSWORD-NUMERIC-REQUIRED {ON / OFF}
Specifies whether a user's password will be enforced to have at least one numeric
character. The initial value is OFF.
1
PASSWORD-SPECIALCHAR-REQUIRED {ON / OFF}
Specifies whether a user's password will be enforced to have at least one special
character. The initial value is OFF.
1
PASSWORD-SPACES-ALLOWED {ON / OFF}
Specifies whether a user's password will be allowed to have spaces. The initial
value is OFF.
1
PASSWORD-MIN-QUALITY-REQUIRED
Specifies the mininum quality criteria that have to be met when a password is set
or changed. The initial value is 0.
PASSWORD-EXPIRY-GRACE
Specifies the number of days after password expiration during which users are
allowed to change their expired passwords during logon. A value of 0 means no
grace period. The default is 0.
PASSWORD-EXPIRY-GRACE can also be specified in individual user
authentication records. If the value of this attribute is not specified in a user
authentication record, the Safeguard software uses the value specified in the
configuration record.
PASSWORD-ENCRYPT
Specifies whether, when a password for any user ID is changed, an encrypted
version of the clear-text password is stored in the user database. The initial value
is OFF.
Note. The default value is TRUE only on systems running G06.29 and later G-series RVUs
and H06.06 and later H-series RVUs.
Note. If the password is encrypted by the PASSWORD program, the Safeguard software
receives an encrypted version of the password and cannot check for
PASSWORD- MINIMUM-LENGTH. However, if the Safeguard software performs the encryption
through the PASSWORD-ENCRYPT attribute, it checks PASSWORD-MINIMUM-LENGTH
before it encrypts the password.
