<div><p>This system value controls whether the password must be different
from previous passwords.</p>
<p>This system value controls whether the password must be different from
previous passwords. This value sets a number of previous passwords that are
checked for duplicate passwords. This value provides additional security by
preventing users from specifying passwords used previously. It also prevents
a user whose password has expired from changing it and then immediately changing
it back to the old password.</p>
<p>See <a href="#qpwdrqddif__quickref">Quick reference</a> table
for an overview of the restrict duplicate passwords 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 that they cannot recycle passwords before this value has exceeded.
Password recycling allows users to choose between three or four favorite passwords,
however; this poses a security threat to your system. To minimize this threat,
use this system value with the password expiration system value to prevent
a password from being reused for at least 6 months. For example, if you selected
30 days for password expiration interval and selected 10 passwords for the
password re-use cycle, then a typical user, who changes passwords when warned
by the system, will not repeat a password for approximately 9 months.</p>
