Re: Valid Oracle Passwords

Ron
 Version 8i.
 The Oracle password complexity routine is activated if you run the rdbms/admin/utlpwdmg.sql
It basicaly checks for passwords from a common name list, checks if the password contains at least one char, one digit, and one punctuation. It also checks if the new is different by > 3 letters than the last.

Can anyone tell me the requirements and characters for a valid Oracle password. I have looked through the Oracle 8i documentation CD and I can't seem to find anything.

Thanks!
