Comment

The script called by password validation can contain any rules that are considered necessary for project security, e.g.  passwords must contain letters and integers.

Password validation:

Calls a specific entry point in the script.

The entry point is as follows.

Function GEF_ValidatePassword(Project as String, UserName As String, NewPassword As String, OutputErrorMessage As String) As Boolean

  ' Validation code goes here.

End Function

Will load the script, find the above entry point and call it passing the described parameters.

The password validation function can return the following.

Description

True

Password is accepted.

False

Not accepted.

If an Output Error message has been defined it will display to indicate what is not correct.

Note: (For testing from CimBasic.exe) CimBasic.exe runs the script from the main entry point. Therefore, if you want to test your password validation you must call it from the main entry point.

Value

String that names the script to be run.

The script can be either a CimBasic .bcl or .bclrt script.

The entry format depends on the script file location as follows.
