Script include: PwdEnrollSoftPINProcessor It supplies the sequence threshold for soft-PIN validation when no numeric threshold is already available; the default passed is 2. The shown code does not reveal how changing the threshold affects PIN acceptance or admin behavior. /sys_script_include.do?sys_id=59744d045302011017c3ddeeff7b12a9

Script include: PwdVAEnrollmentManager It supplies the numeric threshold for checking digit sequences in a soft PIN when no per-verification threshold is available, defaulting to 2. This code does not show how changing the threshold affects users or admins. /sys_script_include.do?sys_id=91e1dd4c439e11102695d6085bb8f26f

Script include: SoftPINEnrollmentManager Soft PIN validation reads this setting as the threshold for checking digit sequences; changing it adjusts how sequences in users’ PINs are evaluated. If no value is set, the code uses a default of 2. /sys_script_include.do?sys_id=eadafe21ff37a2108a03ffffffffffc3
