characters (see "password"), and each type of characters in the password must contain at least one
character.
In FIPS mode, the global password composition policy is as follows: A password must contain four
types of characters from uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits and special characters, and
each type contains at least one character.
In both FIPS and non-FIPS mode, the password composition policy of a user group is the same as
the global policy, and the password composition policy of a local user is the same as that of the user
group to which the local user belongs.

Default command level
2: System level
Parameters
type-number type-number: Specifies the minimum number of character types that a password must
contain. The value range for the type-number argument is 1 to 4 in non-FIPS mode. The value for the
type-number argument is fixed to 4 in FIPS mode.
type-length type-length: Specifies the minimum number of characters that are from each character
type in the password. The value range for the type-length argument is 1 to 63.
Usage guidelines
The settings in system view have global significance and apply to all user groups. The settings in
user group view apply to all local users in the user group. The settings in local user view apply only to
the local user.
A password composition policy with a smaller application range has a higher priority. The system
prefers to use the password composition policy in local user view for a local user. If no policy is
configured for the local user, the system uses the policy for the user group to which the local user
belongs. If no policy is configured for the user group, the system uses the global policy.
