User Guidelines
To use the ! character as part of the username or password string, it should be
enclosed within quotation marks. For example, username “test!xyz” password
“test!xyz” includes an exclamation point in both the username and password.
Up to 8 users may be created. If the password strength feature is enabled, it
checks for password strength and returns an appropriate error if it fails to
meet the password strength criteria. If the encrypted keyword is entered, no
password strength checking is performed as the password is encrypted and the
system does not have the capability of decrypting the password.
