PWD_STRENGTH

This parameter specifies the required strength for a user’s password. This parameter determines the combinations of characters that are mandatory. If this parameter is:

• blank, users can use either their user name or e-mail address as their password.
• not blank, users are prevented from using either their user name or e-mail address as their password.

The rules that are enforced by this parameter take precedence over the existing registry rules. For example, if PWD_IS_ALPHABET is set to False and PWD_STRENGTH is set to ALPHA_NUMERIC, users will be required to use an alphanumeric password.

If you decide to use a custom password authenticator, this registry setting and related rules are ignored during the validation process.

• blank: When left blank, no additional password strength restrictions are enforced. Use this option if you decide to use your own password authenticator.
• ALPHA_NUMERIC: Password requires both letters and numbers.
• MIXED_CASE: Password requires all of these:
  • Letters and numbers
  • Upper and lowercase characters
• SPECIAL_CHARACTERS: Password requires all of these:
  • Letters and numbers
  • Upper and lowercase characters
  • At least one of these special characters: ! @ $ ^ - _ + [ ] : ? #
