Hi,

I don't think that IBM has a good solution.  They will have to re-engineer
client access to do a form of password encryption, and then comparably
re-engineer the sign on screen.

The solution of the 128 byte case sensitive password went over like a lead
balloon, as far as I can determine.  I don't know of anyone who is doing it
apart from DST/SST, and most users hate it there.

Al,

What does IBM suggest for those customers like Adam's client who wish to
enforce password rules beyond those available from system values?
