Password complexity and compliance

To comply with HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and other compliance authorities, some ERP packages, especially older ones, must be modified. A client of mine has had changes inserted in the code for "mf1a.p". This all appears after the statement: update global_userid passwd with frame welcome. They call procedures which track attempts and that supersedes the date logic which forces changes that are much stricter.

This is a really good idea and they use external program calls to encapsulate the logic and so as not to clutter the login screen code.
