Is there a dictionary that FDS uses, and is it possible to add words to
it if so desired?
That description is not really correct. There is a check that ensures
that values used in common attribtues of the user entry can not be
present in the password. This prevents things like using your uid or cn
in your password. The values are broken into tokens of a configurable
length and then compared to the userPassword value.
