    Thank you for this request. The recommendation to address the security requirements is to use LDAP support.

    Some precisions :
    ------------
    To comply with the newest release of IBM's Security Standard ITCS104: password must:
    1. Be at least eight positions in length.
    2. Contain at least one alphabetic and one non-alphabetic character.
    3. Contain a non-numeric character in the first and last position.
    4. Contain no more than three identical consecutive characters in any position from the previous password.
    5. Contain no more than two identical consecutive characters.
    6. Not contain the userid as part of the password.
    7. Be changed at least once every 90 days.
    8. Not be reused until after at least four iterations.

    Currently, TSM password management does not check (or does not allow to configure) all above points but only a few of them (1 and 7).
    Also, TSM password should support both upper-case and lower-case characters.
