• Passwords must contain at least one each of the following characters:

  • A lowercase letter

  • An uppercase letter

  • A special character

• Password can contain maximum of 2 consecutive characters. The valid values are from 1 through 5. The default value is 2.

• Password can contain maximum number of 4 consecutive characters from the same character type. The valid values are from 1 through 5. The default value is 4.

If a password does not meet the password strength policy, the system rejects the password. You can disable the password policy.
