Default PAM password configuration

On our SLES10 SP2 machines our password requirements include minimum length of 10 characters, at least 2 each of Uppercase, lowercase, special characters and numerals. We get 3 failed attempts to authenticate and/or change passwords before further activity is delayed. One additional requirement that I can't seem to obtain using PAM is no two consecutive characters can be identical; that is to say "DD" or "11" are not allowed. My /etc/pam.d/common-password file contains:
password required pam_passwdqc.so \ min=disabled,disabled,disabled,disabled,10 passphrase=0 \
retry=3 enforce=users random=0
password requisite pam_cracklib.so use_authtok dcredit=-2 \
ucredit=-2 ocredit=-2 lcredit=-2
password required pam_unix2.so nullok use_authtok

How do I enforce ALL of the above rules in SLES10?
Regards,
Jerry
