Is there any RACF password rule that can validate the password cannot be
a part of USERID? or only write a user exit to implement it?
----------------------------------<unsnip>-------------------------------
I used an exit to prevent the password from being a ANAGRAM (scramble)
of the userid. I used the USERIDS to fill in a translate table with
non-zero values for each character of the USERID. Then I did a TRT on
the password using that table. If the TRT completed, I rejected the
password. I also used this exit to require that passwords could not
start or end with a single numeric digit and enforced a minimum length
of 6 characters. You can basically implement any rules you like using
the password validation exit, and the code isn't really all that
difficult. If I can find it, I'll send you a copy of my exit's source
code, privately.
