HP UX Identity Security Software manual PasswordMinAlphas Password syntax

2.3.1.119 passwordMinCategories (Password syntax)

This sets the minimum number of character categories that are represented in the password. The categories are lower, upper, digit, special, and 8-bit. For example, if the value of this attribute were set to 2, and the user tried to change the password to aaaaa, the server would reject the password because it contains only lower case characters, and therefore contains characters from only one category. A password of aAaAaA would pass because it contains characters from two categories, uppercase and lowercase. The default is 3, which means that if password syntax checking is enabled, valid passwords have to have three categories of characters.

Parameter	Description
Entry DN	cn=config
Valid Range	0 to 5
Default Value	0
Syntax	Integer
Example	passwordMinCategories: 2

2.3.1.120 PasswordMinDigits (Password syntax)
