Changes to facility password policies and tools.

To reinforce the SDCC facility Cyber Security posture and reduce the risk of future compromises, the SDCC/RACF password policy has been designed to comply with current best practices as specified in NIST's Digital Identity Guidelines for Authentication (NIST800-63B).

Users may employ the web interface for changing passwords. Your current SDCC/RACF username and password are required for access.
