  5. Changing from Password Level 0 to password Level 2 (Harvell, Joel)

We are in the process of installing TIM - Tivoli Identity Manager here
at our facility.  The TIM software will manage passwords for The AS400,
mainframe, Active directory, & lotus notes.  Our AS400s are currently at
Password level 0. (system value - QPWDLVL)  Password level 0 will only
allow a character in the first position of the password field.  As part
of the TIM install we have a need to have a numeric value in the 1st
position of the password field. 

Joel:

I didn't see a good reply after catching up on the list today.

I'm not clear exactly what your problem is. QPWDLVL=0 does allow numeric-only 
passwords; it's just that the passwords must be _set_ by prepending the single 
character 'Q'. For example, if you want your password to be [123456], you set 
the password as [Q123456].

But perhaps the problem is that the TIM interface is somehow interfering?

Can you clarify?
