password-control length
Syntax

undo password-control length
View
System view, user group view, local user view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
length: Minimum password length in characters, in the range of 8 to 32.
Description
Use password-control length to set the minimum password length.
Use undo password-control length to restore the default.
By default, the global minimum password length is 10 characters, the minimum password length of a user
group equals the global setting, and the minimum password length of a local user equals that of the user
group to which the local user belongs.
The setting in system view has global significance and applies to all user groups, the setting in user group
view applies to all local users in the user group, and the setting in local user view applies to only the local
user.
A minimum password length setting with a smaller application range has a higher priority. That is, the
system prefers the setting for a local user. If there is no setting for the local user, the system will use the
setting for the user group. If there is no setting for the user group, the system will use the global setting.
Related commands: display password-control, local-user, and user-group.
