Documentation
Definition
This security policy attribute determines the minimum number of ASCII letters (A-Z and a-z) that a password must contain.
The attribute applies both when assigning new passwords and when changing the password or resetting existing passwords.
Use
Permissible values: 0 - 40
(If the profile parameter login/password_downwards_compatibility has been set to the value 5, the permissible value range is 0 - 8.)
This security policy attribute replaces profile parameter login/min_password_letters.
Dependencies
You can also specify the minimum number of lowercase letters and uppercase letters separately.
The total of the values of the following security policy attributes must not be higher than the maximum password length (40, or 8, if login/password_downwards_compatibility = 5):
- MIN_PASSWORD_DIGITS
- MIN_PASSWORD_LETTERS or the total of MIN_PASSWORD_LOWERCASE and MIN_PASSWORD_UPPERCASE
- MIN_PASSWORD_SPECIALS
