--help Displays the passwdCfg synopsis.
--set Configures the following parameters:
-lowercase value
Specifies the minimum number of lowercase alphabetic characters that
must occur in the password. The default value is 0. The maximum value
must be less than or equal to -minlength value.
-uppercase value
Specifies the minimum number of uppercase alphabetic characters that
must occur in the password. The default value is 0. The maximum value
must be less than or equal to -minlength value.
-digits value
Specifies the minimum number of numeric digits that must occur in the
password. The default value is 0. The maximum value must be less than
or equal to -minlength value.
-punctuation value
Specifies the minimum number of punctuation characters that must occur
in the password. All displayable, nonalphanumeric punctuation
characters, except the colon (:), is allowed. The default value is 0. The
maximum value must be less than or equal to -minlength value.
-minlength value
Specifies the minimum length of the password. The minimum can be set
as 8 to 40. Passwords must be between the minimum length specified to
40 characters. The default value is 8. The total of -lowercase,
-uppercase, -digits, -punctuation must be less than or equal to
-minlength value.
-history value
Specifies the number of past password values that are disallowed when
setting a new password. A value of 1 to 24 can be specified. The default
value is 1.
-minpasswordage value
Specifies the minimum number of days that must elapse before a
password can be changed. -minpasswordage can be set at 0 to 999. The
default value is 0. Setting this parameter to a nonzero value discourages
a user from rapidly changing a password in order to defeat the password
history setting to reuse a recently used password. The minpasswordage
policy is not enforced when an administrator changes the password for
another user.
When -maxpasswordage is set to a nonzero value, -minpasswordage
must be set to a value less than or equal to -maxpasswordage.
