Configuring the Password Policy

Attribute Name	Definition
	Lowercase letters (a to z)
	Numbers (0 through 9)
	Special ASCII characters, such as $
	ASCII alphabetic characters, regardless of
	case (a to z and A to Z)
	8-bit characters
	Repeated characters, such as aaaaaa
	This attribute is set to 3 by default.
passworMinUppers	This attribute sets the minimum number of
	upper case alphabetic characters, A to Z,
	which must be used in the password. By
	default, this attribute is set to 0, meaning
	there is no required minimum.
passwordTokenLength	This attribute sets the minimum length for any
	tokens used with Directory Server. The token
	length can be from 1 to 64 characters. This
	attribute is set to 3 by default.
passwordMin8bit	This attribute sets the minimum number of
	8-bit chracters used in the password. The
	default number is 0, meaning none are
	required.
passwordStorageScheme	This attribute specifies the type of encryption
	used to store Directory Server passwords.
	The following encryption types are supported
	by Directory Server:
	SSHA (Salted Secure Hash Algorithm). This
	method is recommended as it is the most
	secure. The Directory Server supports SSHA,
	SSHA-256,SSHA-384, and SSHA-512. SSHA is
	the default method.
	SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm). A one-way
	hash algorithm; it is supported only for
	backwards compatibility with Directory Server
	4.x and should not be used otherwise. This
	includes support for SHA, SHA-256, SHA-384,
	and SHA-512algorithms, which protects
	against some insecurities in the SHA-1
	algorithm.
	MD5. MD5 is not as secure as SSHA but is
	available for legacy applications require it.
	crypt. The UNIX crypt algorithm, provided for
	compatibility with UNIX passwords.
	clear. This encryption type indicates that the
