User Guidelines

If password strength is enabled, the user is forced to enter passwords that:

• Contain characters from user-defined several character classes (uppercase

letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters available on a

standard keyboard).

• Contain no character that is repeated more than user-defined times

consecutively.

The user can control the above attributes of password strength with specific

commands.

character classes to 3.
