<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">What can I do with this system value?</h4><p>This system
value provides the ability for a user-written program to do additional validation
on passwords. The current and new passwords are passed to the validation program
without encryption. The validation program could store passwords in a database
file and compromise security on the system. The recommended setting for this
system value is *NONE.</p>
<p>You may specify the following options:</p>
<ul><li><span class="uicontrol">*NONE</span> <p>No validation program is used.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">*REGFAC</span> <p>The validation program name is retrieved
from the registration facility.</p>
</li>
<li><strong><em>program-specification</em></strong> <p>The name of the validation program.
This option is only valid if the system is operating at QPWDLVL 0 or 1. The
possible library values are:</p>
<ul><li><span class="uicontrol">*LIBL</span> <p>The library list is used to locate the
validation program.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">*CURLIB</span> <p>The current library for the job is used
to locate the validation program. If no library is specified as the current
library for the job, QGPL is used.</p>
</li>
<li><strong><em>library-name</em></strong> <p>Specify the name of the library where the
validation program is located.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The program must exist in the system disk pool (also known as auxiliary
storage pool) or in a basic user disk pool.</p>
