Restrictions on the Validation Variable Parameter

On UNIX™, the password stored in validation_var must be a valid password and must exist in the /etc/passwd file. If the application connects to a remote database server, the password must exist in this file on both the local and remote database servers.

On Windows™, the password stored in validation_var must be valid and must be the password entered in User Manager. If the application connects to a remote database server, the password must exist in the domain of both the client and the server.
