Associated Numeric Values
1: The number entered in the Associated Numeric Values field 1 equals the minimum length of the password.
2: The number entered in the Associated Numeric Value 2 field equals the number of days that a password may not be reused. Each time the user changes their password, the password gets saved along with the date the password was created. On successive password change attempts the new password is first compared to the old passwords. If an old password is found and the date is less than "n" days old (where "n" is the number of days allowed in the Associated Numeric Value 2) then the user is restricted from using the password and prompted to create a different new password. If the number of days is not set in the common code then there is no restriction. (7i Only)
3: The number entered in the Associated Numeric Value 3 field equals the number of login attempts allowed since the last successful login attempt. Each failed login attempt is counted. Once the count equals the number in the Associated Numeric Value 3, the user is locked out until DBA resets the user's status to A (Active) from L (Locked) in NU Manage Users. On each successful login attempt, the failed login count is reset to zero. (7i Only)
4: Enter the number 1 to disable password sensitivity of all CAPS. This allows (lower and upper case) all password case types to work. Leave blank to enforce password sensitivity of all Caps (available in release 7.9.9.902).
5: Reserved for future use.
Associated Codes
1: If set to "NUMBER" (without the quotes), this code indicates that one or more numbers must be included in the password (password cannot consist exclusively of alphabetic characters).
2-5: Reserved for future use.
