Hello,
We have planned to implement the following password rules in RACF.
Passwords Syntax:
* Restrictions on repeated characters
* Alphanumeric passwords, including special characters, upper case, and
lower case.
Please advice with informations or procedures or what EXIT need to be
used.
Most of your requirements can be handled with the RACF password rules
that you can set with "SETROPTS PASSWORD(RULEx (...))" commands. For
details, see the SETROPTS command in "A22-7687 z/OS Security Server RACF
Command Language Reference".
You cannot have special characters other than "$, #, @" in a RACF
password. Password length cannot exceed 8 characters.
If you want to allow lower case passwords, you need at least z/OS V1R7
and you should test all your middleware and applications where RACF
authentication is performed thoroughly with mixed case passwords before
you go live on a production system with that. Otherwise, you might be in
for blood, sweat and tears.
For restrictions on repeated characters, you need RACF exit ICHPWX01.
