SWS 2.1 and /FLAGS=PWDMIX

Just to inform:

It's a known issue with MOD_AUT_OPENVMS that shippes with SWS 1.3-1: the AUF flag PWDMIX is not honoured.
I just checkd with 2.1 and found the problem still exists.

Since I don't have a support contract, I cannot post a call to HP. Hopefully they pick it up from here....

Re: SWS 2.1 and /FLAGS=PWDMIX

Would you? Point is some of my customers rely on mixed-case passwords (for security reasons) and new development of web-based applications cannot be done on the currently used OSU webserver. For these customers, a solution is a requirement (I am still investigating WASD as an alternative)

2.1-1: Unchanged....

WASD is a good alternative if OSU is ruled out because of it's requireement for DECNet and mixed-case passwords are a requirement.
