32 in non-FIPS mode, and 15 to 32 in FIPS mode.
Usage guidelines
Before you execute this command, make sure the global password control feature and the minimum
length function are enabled. Otherwise, your configuration cannot take effect.
The minimum length setting depends on the view:
The setting in system view has global significance and applies to all user groups.
•
The setting in user group view applies to all local users in the user group.
•
• The setting in local user view applies only to the local user.
A minimum password length with a smaller application scope has higher priority. The system prefers to
use the minimum password length in local user view for a local user.
If no minimum password length is configured for the local user, the system uses the minimum
•
password length for the user group to which the local user belongs.
If no minimum password length is configured for the user group, the system uses the global minimum
•
password length.
Examples
# Set the global minimum password length to 16 characters.
