    Business Justification:

    Application Protection is a must in today's world, password change policy should enforce the basis rule by which application & data could be protected.

    1) There are few eminent clients of Bharti whose resources have been integrated with Netcool using Object Server repository, Password enforcement for these eminent clients are must.
    2) Without password rules enforcement, application is quite vulnerable and unsafe.
    3) Need to expose Netcool over Internet, which makes it more vulnerable and hence definitely requires password rules enforcement.
    4) As per Bharti Security Information policy(Disclosure), this is fundamental to ensure no exposure of client data when application is accessed over internet.
