Resolution

The security for FAQS can be found:

FAQS/ASO Online Users Guide Ch 3 page 107 "User and Profile Security (SCTY)"

FAQS/ASO & PCS  VSE Installation Guide Ch 4 page 58 "Initializing Security" I also talks about the User Ids and Profiles.

There are sample screens here and you can also use the process to display your current environment.

Regarding passwords:

The password is only uppercase alpha or numbers. Special chars like !@#$%& can be used  but FAQS will not check these or prevent their use.

There is no limit on attempts to sign on.

A date can be set to force a new password.
