passwdCfg

2

-sequence value

Specifies the length of sequential character sequences that will be
disallowed. A sequential character sequence is defined as a character
sequence in which the ASCII value of each contiguous character differs by
one. The ASCII value for the characters in the sequence must all be
increasing or all decreasing. For example, if the "sequence" value is set to 3, a
password "passABCword" is disallowed because it contains the sequence
"ABC". A password of "passABword" would be allowed because no repeated
character sequence exceeds two characters. The range of allowed values is
1-40. The default value is 1.
