<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

<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>
