The new Check Password Meets Password Rules (QSYCHKPR) API checks if the password specified in the password information meets the password rules for the system on which this API is run. The password rules are composed of system values QPWDRQDDIF and either QPWDRULES or all of the following: QPWDMINLEN, QPWDMAXLEN, QPWDLMTAJC, QPWDLMTCHR, QPWDLMTREP, and QPWDRQDDGT.
The API can be used by users or password management tools to predetermine if a value would meet the configured password rules set by the company. This API only checks the password, it does not actually change the user's password.
For more information, see the QSYCHKPR API description in IBM Documentation
