Parameters
length: Specifies the minimum password length in characters. The value range for this argument is 4
to 32 in non-FIPS mode, and 15 to 32 in FIPS mode.
Usage guidelines
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.
