<h1 class="topictitle1">Require different characters in each position in the password</h1>
<div><p>This system value controls the position of each character in a
new password.</p>
<p>Controlling the position of each character in a new password provides additional
security by preventing users from using the same character (alphabetic or
numeric) in a position corresponding to the same position in the previous
password. When the password level has a value of 2 or 3, the test for the
same character is case sensitive. This means that a lowercase a is not the
same as an uppercase A.</p>
<p>See <a href="#qpwdposdif__quickref">Quick reference</a> table
for an overview of the require different characters in each position system
value.</p>

<p><strong>Relationship to security policy</strong></p>
<p>Within your security policy, you should describe the password rules that
are defined by the system values-related passwords. For this system value,
inform users on whether they can repeat the same character in the same position
as previous passwords This system value works with other system values that
specify the composition of individual passwords.</p>
