Re: Password Question

We have very loose password requirements and we want to tighten
them a little by requiring a certain length and certain
characters. If we make that change today, what happens when a
user signs on with a password that doesn't fall within those
requirements? Are they prompted to change their password at that
time or does the system just not allow them to sign on? And when
does that change take affect?


The password complexity requirements apply to CHGPWD. Thus although the changes take effect immediately, there is no impact to users with existing passwords; no forced prompt for change, and they can signon without any impacts. That is, users will continue generally unaffected. To force an effect, then issue CHGUSRPRF PWDEXP(*YES) for each user for which the change should be made immediately; i.e. force them to change their password due to its [forced] expiration.
