Minimum Password Length

Determines whether passwords are required. If passwords are required, also determines the fewest number of characters that passwords can contain. The default value is At Least 8 Characters.

If you select Permit Blank Password, meaning that passwords are not required, then the valid password length is 0 (zero) to 128 characters.

If you are linking your IBM® Content Manager OnDemand user IDs to IBM i user profiles, then Minimum Password Length should be set to Allow Blank Password. This prevents Content Manager OnDemand from trying to impose its own rules on the length of a password and allows IBM i to use its own rules.

To set a specific minimum password length, select At Least __ Characters and enter a number in the space provided. The number can have a value from one (1) to 128.
