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, meaning that passwords must contain at least eight characters.

When a user changes a password, the client checks the number of characters that the user typed. The new password must contain the minimum number of characters. Otherwise, the client issues an error message. If your organization has not implemented the security user exit and the user types more than eight characters, then the client issues an error message.
