Carey, I ended up having to do:
'New Password' LIKE (((( "%" + "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()=_+{},./<>?;:'-]" ) +
"%" ) + "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()=_+{},./<>?;:'-]" ) + "%" )
This verifies the New Password field has two special characters. You
have to have the - at the end of the string you are checking, and you
cannot check for [ ] or ".
I cannot use the ^ because it is a password, and the user HAS to have
A-z and 0-9 as well.
All in all, my checks are as follows:
'New Password' LIKE (((( "%" + "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()=_+{},./<>?;:'-]" ) +
"%" ) + "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()=_+{},./<>?;:'-]" ) + "%" )
'New Password' LIKE (((( "%" + "[A-Z]" ) + "%" ) + "[A-Z]" ) + "%"
)
'New Password' LIKE (((( "%" + "[a-z]" ) + "%" ) + "[a-z]" ) + "%"
)
'New Password' LIKE (((( "%" + "[0-9]" ) + "%" ) + "[0-9]" ) + "%"
)
I performed each check one at a time so I could set a flag for each
required layer of security, and then give the users meaningful messages,
such as, "Please include at least two integers, 0 - 9, in your
password."
I have an active link that calls a guide that contains all of the other
WF to check the above and sets a flag for each of the requirements if
they are met. Then a second active link calls a second guide that calls
a set of active links that check for each of the above flags and gives
an individual error message based off of the checks.
This is all on a display-only form. The last action the active links
perform is a Commit Changes, and then I have a filter run that will push
the new password to the User form.
I have added a date/time field to the user form, and was creating a
filter to set it whenever the password field changed. This didn't work
though, because remedy gave me an error message saying I could not use
the Password field in a run-if qualification.
Is anyone else out there setting a date/time field whenever the Password
is changing?
