Best-practice passwords
PTP 600 allows passwords to be checked for compliance with password best practice.
When checking is enabled, passwords must comply with the following:
• Passwords are case sensitive
• Passwords must contain at least:
o One uppercase letter.
o One lowercase letter.
o One numeral.
o One special character.
• When the password is changed, the new password must differ from the previous
password by at least four characters.
Special characters are any of the following:
! \ " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~
Best-practice passwords can be checked in role-based and identity-based
authentication methods.
