[B] Password Verfication help [/b]

[Sambo8]

Hi There,

I'm looking for a way of stopping a user from changing their password more than once in a day. So the password has to have a minimum age of 1 day. Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Sam

Hi,
It appears, at least from here:

http://www.psoug.org/reference/profiles.html

that enforcing a minimum lifetime for a password is not provided for..

May I ask why you care? It does not really take up resources, unless you are enforcing a reuse limit.

Hi There,

Thanks for you assistance, I hadn't found anything either and wanted to double check I hadn't overlooked , it was a request from the client to keep inline with their windows security policy.

Cheers,
Sam

You can easily build a Password Verification Routine that could maintain the date that it was last checked and just about anything else you want to do. See the following link for a sample program
