Default level
2: System level
Parameters
length: Specifies the minimum password length in characters, in the range of 4 to 32.
Description
Use password-control length to set the minimum password length.
Use undo password-control length to restore the default.
By default, the global minimum password length is 10 characters, the minimum password length of a user
group equals the global setting, and the minimum password length of a local user equals that of the user
group to which the local user belongs.
A minimum password length setting with a smaller application range has a higher priority. That is, the
system prefers the setting for a local user. If there is no setting for the local user, the system will use the
setting for the user group. If there is no setting for the user group, the system will use the global setting.
If you do not set the minimum password length for super passwords, the global minimum password
length applies.
When global password control is enabled but the minimum password length restriction function is
disabled, the minimum password length is four characters, and the password must have at least four
different characters.
Related commands: display password-control, local-user, and user-group.
