Re: Password Validation Prg

p
asswords are not case sensitive at QPWDLVL = 0 or 1...

So I would expect them to be upper cased.

Thanks chuck,

I wrote a RPG program which validates special characters, Numeric, lower
and upper case.

If validations fails program returns back 1.


Now I have a different problem; when the password is passed to the program
by default the password values are changing to upper case though I gave it
in lower case.

Example : If my password is john1, when the program is called through
CHGPWD the password values are just converting to upper case JOHN1

As another example I wrote a RPG program which accepts a parameter. Now
when call the program using CALL XXX Parm john, password values are
changing to JOHN1.

If I call the program with the single codes i.e CALL XXX Parm('john1'),
the parameter values remains same i.e john1.

can some please suggest. why this is happening, do I need to setup some
values.

Thanks in advance.

Because the stated requirement was to ensure that a user must
"Include upper case and lower case along with special character in
password", the only option is to use the latter example as a model,
whereby the program is a registered exit; i.e.: using the
"PWDEXITPGM1 - Password validation exit 1" as the model for what
could be done.

However I would tend to avoid using CL due to the CCSID being passed
as a /field/ of the first parameter to the exit-program, in order to
describe the password data.

FWiW SJL had posted a copy of RPG code [with an unresolved issue] in
the past. The code appears to [attempt to] deal properly with the CCSID
being passed with the password string [albeit part of the problem with
the code]. The thread discussing the problem with the code, and the
link to the code:
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200909/threads.html#00170
http://code.midrange.com/b5e4e02b63.html

I would guess that is more likely to be a better model to follow.
