Re: New Password rules at VRM610

Simon,

I can understand how QPWDLMTCHR would be a little tough to implement into 
QPWDRULES.  The format is incompatible.  In that case, however, they 
should have not started ignoring it.  They could have easily added a 
*RQDDIFn where n is 
0=Can be the same as old passwords
1=Cannot be the same as last 32 
2=Cannot be the same as last 24 
3=Cannot be the same as last 18 
4=Cannot be the same as last 12 
5=Cannot be the same as last 10 
6=Cannot be the same as last  8 
7=Cannot be the same as last  6 
8=Cannot be the same as last  4 
Or something more sensible, (like 4=4).  And dropped QPWDRQDDIF, but they 
didn't.  Why drop something they didn't handle right here (without having 
to delve into exit points) in QPWDLMTCHR yet not handle QPWDRQDDIF?

Try opening up a pmr.
