Hi Linda,

How do you define "common password"?

Subject: RACF, external password management

My company wants an external password manager to substitute for RACF.  
I need to know if anyone has experience with this, or common password matching 
in RACF.  

Background
Regulations NYDFS require preventing common passwords to be used. 
Vendor tools (Courion, CyberArk, etc.) have a corpus to match password changes 
to prevent the use of common passwords.  
RACF passwords can be changed from TSO, the internal reader, JCL, Candle 
Session manager, etc., so trying to block password changing through RACF and 
forcing everyone through one of these 3rd party tools may be near impossible. 

Any input is appreciated.  Thanks!  Linda
