Minimum xter and password reuse

[Vic S. Kelan]

I have a rule that forces 8 xters lenght, in a trusted system and also forces not using previously used passwords

Is their a way I can reduce the minimum password lenght for just one particular user and also allow the user to re use old passwords?
thanks

I think you can manually edit their tcb file?

In a trusted system, you can use the following for the user so that the account doesn't expire and there won't be any password change prompt for the id

/usr/lbin/modprpw -m exptm=0

and to change the number of characters in the password you can use the following command
/usr/lbin/modprpw -m maxpwln=value

this should do it

hi kelan


In SAM, select:

Accounts for Users and Groups
-> Users
-> highlight user
-> Actions
-> Modify Security Policies


Complete any or all of the optional steps shown below:

[ Password Format Policies... ]

[ Password Aging Policies... ]

[ General User Account Policies... ]

this will allow you to set individual policy to specific user...
