IBM i : Password Approval Program (QPWDVLDPGM) - '*NONE'

Information

You can specify the Password Approval Program (QPWDVLDPGM) to control the validation of new passwords.

If *REGFAC or a program name is specified in the QPWDVLDPGM system value, the system runs one or more programs after the new password has passed any validation tests you specify in the password-control system values. You can use the programs to do additional checking of user-assigned passwords before they are accepted by the system.

Solution

Set QPWDVLDPGM to *NONE or a appropriate value.
