Security Commands 1176
minimum strength check character classes if password strength checking is
desired. Use the minimum character class check to require the user to enter a
password that passes the minimum strength check for more than one
minimum strength check character class.
Minimum character class checking validates passwords that contain a
character matching a configured character class. If minimum character class
checking is enabled, a password must pass at least the minimum number of
configured minimum strength class checks to be valid. Non-configured
minimum character classes are not counted towards the minimum matching
character classes.
If minimum character class checking is disabled and if a password contains a
character matching a configured character class, it must meet the specific
minimum strength check limit for the matching character class. If the
password only contains characters that are in non-configured (0 limit)
minimum strength check character class, the password is considered valid.
If the maximum consecutive characters or maximum repeated characters
limits, or other validation checks are configured, passwords must pass these
tests regardless of the minimum character class checking setting.
