I haven't really looked into this too deeply, but my gut feeling would be that 
this overwrites the password so that the original password hash will no longer 
work.  That's how the accounts are disabled, so it'd make sense.

Subject: Question concerning Application-Invalidate-User

**
We recently upgraded our app server from 7.0.1 to 7.1 (Windows server connected 
to Oracle).  After the upgrade I have been looking at the new filters 
associated with password management with 7.1.  I noted a filter called 
User:DisableUserAccount.  The Run If is fairly straight forward with ($USER$ =  
"AR_ESCALATOR" ) AND ( 'Status' = "Disabled") AND ( 'Account Disabled Date' !=  
$NULL$ ) AND ( 'Account Disabled Date' > 'Last Password Change For Policy')

The Run Process executes Application-Invalidate-User $Login Name$.  I can not 
find any reference to Application-Invalidate-User in the 7.1 or 7.5 
documentation.

If anyone could point me to documentation concerning 
Application-Invalidate-User it would be greatly appreciated.

Dave
