Re: Not logged to the system.

John:

Do a google search for QPWDVLDPGM

One of the first few links returned is for "Experts Guide to OS/400 and i5/OS Security" -- click on that link to vuew the section of this book that talks about this exit, and shows some sample code.

HTH,

As we are using V5R4M0 version there is no option of QPWDRULES and
this new feature is in I.6 version.

please suggest if there any alternative thing to do this.

Perhaps QPWDVLDPGM would be acceptable; i.e. by allowing user code to
implement the rules, for lack of those particular rules being provided
via the other password rule system values.
