Syntax
password-control length length
undo password-control length
View
System view, user group view, local user view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
length: Specifies the minimum password length in characters. The value range for this argument is 4 to
32 in non-FIPS mode, and 8 to 32 in FIPS mode.
Description
Use the password-control length command to set the minimum password length.
Use the undo password-control length command 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.
• 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, and the setting in local user view applies to
only the local user.
A minimum password length setting with a smaller application range has higher priority. The
•
priority in descending order is: setting for a local user, setting for a user group, global setting.
When global password control is enabled but the minimum password length restriction function is
disabled, the following rules apply:
In non-FIPS mode, the minimum password length is four characters, and the password must have at
•
least four different characters.
In FIPS mode, the minimum password length is eight characters, and the password must have at
•
least four different characters.
Related commands: display password-control, local-user, and user-group.
Examples
# Set the global minimum password length to 9 characters.
