Set minimum requirements for secure password creation

2628  Configure Users

The database administrator can set minimum requirements for user passwords.

In the Configure users dialog (accessible in Maintenance), via the Options button, a window displays the various properties you can require:

  • Minimum length: minimum number of characters. Currently, a minimum length of 15 characters is estimated to effectively resist a brute-force attack (using a program that tests all possible combinations of characters).
  • Letters and digits mandatory : mandatory combination of letters and numbers.
  • Upper and lower case mandatory : the password must contain at least 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase letter.
  • Symbol mandatory : the password must contain at least 1 character that is neither a letter nor a number.
