Requirement for Numeric Character in Passwords (QPWDRQDDGT)

The Requirement for Numeric Character in Passwords (QPWDRQDDGT) system value controls whether a numeric character is required in a new password. This value provides additional security by preventing users from using all alphabetic characters.

Notes:
  1. This system value is a restricted value. See Security system values for details on how to restrict changes to security system values and a complete list of the restricted system values.
  2. If the QPWDRULES system value specifies any value other than *PWDSYSVAL, this system value cannot be changed and its value will be ignored when new passwords are checked to see if they are formed correctly.
Table 1. Possible values for the QPWDRQDDGT system value:
0 Numeric characters are not required in new passwords.
1 One or more numeric characters are required in new passwords.
