Password Value Checking

i OS provides some validation for password values. Toolkit will optionally provide additional password value checking to ensure that users do not use obvious values for passwords. You may specify:

• That user profile names are not used as password names.
• That new passwords are not values on a list of forbidden values. You may add to this list of forbidden values yourself. You may forbid a value for a particular profile (for example, QSECOFR) or for all profiles.
• That a new password has not already been used. You may specify that Toolkit is to log old passwords to ensure that they are not reused: the passwords are added to the list of forbidden values.
