I don't believe so.  I change my password after it expire.  I then was
able to change it back to the original password.  This was for a admin
account.

Subject: SOX compliance question - Is TSM password history maintained?

Hello TSM'ers

I wonder whether anybody can help out with this question. I am being
asked
by one of my customers as to whether TSM keeps a history of previous
passwords. This is so a previously used password can not be re-used for
a
certain period of time.

I've looked in all the usual TSM reference areas and can not find the
answer. Can anybody help answer this?

Thanks in advance.
