I was looking through the changes for security in VRM610 specifically
the new system values for password rules. Essentially the old QPWD*
system values directly related to password rules are replaced
(supported but obviously deprecated) by a new single system value
QPWDRULES that takes multiple values. All-in-all a good idea but I
noticed the following anomaly:
There appears to be no direct replacement for the QPWDLMTCHR system
value.
QPWDLMTCHR allows you to force omission of certain characters from
passwords (typically vowels) but I cannot see a similar function in
the new rules.
Is this simply a documentation oversight?
Is QPWDLMTCHR still effective even when using the new method?
Have I simply missed something?
Regards,
Simon Coulter.
