You cannot set up password character string restrictions while you are using a Directory Server linkage facility. If password character string restrictions have already been set up when you begin using a Directory Server linkage facility, the restrictions will no longer be effective.
Before using a Directory Server linkage facility, it is strongly advised that you cancel the password character string restrictions.
- Reference note
- If you use a Directory Server linkage facility without cancelling the password character string restrictions, and then stop using the Directory Server linkage facility, the following problems may occur:
- Users who were in violation of the password character string restrictions will not have been placed in password-invalid account lock state.
- Users who are not in violation of the password character string restrictions may be placed in password-invalid account lock state.
- DBA privilege holders and the auditor may be placed in password-invalid account lock state.
