Length Rule

The length rule ensures that passwords contain the required number of characters.

Define a minimum length so that passwords must consist of at least a specified number of characters. Long passwords - seven or more characters - are usually stronger than short ones. With this setting, users cannot use blank passwords, and they have to create passwords that are a certain number of characters long.

To configure the length rule

  1. Follow the steps outlined in Configuring Password Policy Rules.

  2. On the Policy Rules tab, click Length Rule to expand the rule settings.

  3. Under Length Rule, select the Password must contain check box, and then specify the following options as required:

Table 17: Password length limit

Complexity Rule

The complexity rule ensures that passwords meet the following minimum complexity requirements:

  • The password does not contain the user's account name or parts of the user's full name that exceed two consecutive characters.

  • The password consists of at least 6 characters.

  • The password contain characters from 3 of the following 4 categories:

    • English uppercase characters (A–Z).

    • English lowercase characters (a–z).

    • Base 10 digits (0–9).

    • The password contains non-alphabetic characters. The supported characters are: ~ ` ! # $ % \ ^ & . _ * + = - [ ] ; , / { } | " : < > ? ( ) @.

The complexity rule imposes the same requirements as the standard Windows policy “Password must meet complexity requirements.”

To configure the complexity rule

  1. Follow the steps of Configuring Password Policy Rules.

  2. On the Policy Rules tab, click Complexity Rule to expand the rule settings.

  3. Under Complexity Rule, select the Password must meet complexity requirements check box.

Required Characters Rule

The required characters rule ensures that passwords contain certain character categories.

Required characters are necessary to make a password stronger. For example, if you set the minimum number of uppercase characters to 4, then the password "ElePHant" will be rejected.

To configure the required characters rule

  1. Follow the steps outlined in Configuring Password Policy Rules.

  2. On the Policy Rules tab, click Required Characters Rule to expand the rule settings.
