<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 or not password can contain adjacent numeric characters.
|
|
This value provides additional security by preventing users from specifying
|
|
passwords that are easy to guess, such as the same character repeated several
|
|
times. This system value works with other system values that specify the composition
|
|
of individual passwords.</p>
