Symptoms

On a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system having Long Password Feature enabled when attempting to set a password according to the Global Password Policy, the password is not validated accordingly.

The issue can be replicated at will by following the below steps:

1. Change the Global Password Policy from Form Exit in P98LPSEC as follows:

• Minimum Password Length: 2
• Minimum Number Of Numerics: 2
• Maximum Consecutive Characters: 3
• Minimum Number Of Characters: 2
• Minimum Number Of Special Characters:2

In F98OWSEC, the BLOB field for *POLICY record has been updated showing: 2|2|2|3|2

2. Try to validate the following passwords:

• dddcba44321!; -----> the password change hasn't been successful although it was compliant (3 consecutive characters);
• ddcba44321!; -----> the password change has been successful;

Changes

 Long Password Feature has been enabled and a specific Global Password Policy has been set
