Issue/Introduction

How can ACF2 be setup to enforce that a new password must contain a national character

 

Environment

If PSWDSPLT is set and PSWDPLST is not set, at least one national character is required for a new password 

If PSWDSPLT is set and PSWDPLST is also set, then at least one of the national characters and/or the special 
characters must be set in a new password.
If PSWDSPLT is not set, then national characters in the password are optional.
