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.
To restrict repeated characters you would use ICHPWX01, the new password
exit, described in the RACF System Programmers Guide.
For your second one:
(a) you can not easily allow lower-case characters unless you're at z/OS
R7 or later, and in that case you do not need an exit, but can simply
use the password rules.
(b) You can not easily allow special characters other than the three
"national" characters $, #, or @ even using a RACF exit. You can allow
use of $, #, or @ without an exit, but to require them you would need
ICHPWX01, again.
