Diagnosis
You entered a new password, but it does not differ from your old password by a sufficient number of characters.
System Response
Procedure
Choose a password that differs from your old password by at least characters. The password you entered differs by only characters.
The number of different characters is calculated as follows:
The two strings are made to overlap as much as possible (by searching for the longest common string and rotating as necessary). The number of different characters (after comparing character-by-character) returns the number the system needs.
For example: Old password: "BDAFAG" (6 characters)
New password: "ABC DBA" (7 characters)
After rotation: "DBAABC " (7 characters)
==> Number of different characters = 4
Procedure for System Administration
The system administrator can specify this value using the profile parameter login/min_password_digits.
