  • Allowed characters (Latin letters, digits, special characters, user characters)
  • Minimum number of characters from a group

Maximum number of character occurrences can be limited in the range from 1 to 63, a value of 0 means no restriction is set.

Character groups:

  • Digits: 0-9
  • Lowercase Latin letters: a-z 
  • Capital Latin letters: A-Z
  • Special characters: . , < > / ? [ ] { } = + - _ \ | ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )
  •  User character group (character is defined by user for each application separately)

If the policy is not defined or is disabled, then the password can contain digits and lowercase Latin letters only, and should be at least 6 characters long.
