3-1 Setting password conditions for user
accounts
To prevent users' passwords from being guessed by a third party, Device Manager allows you to
specify password conditions. For example, you can specify a minimum number of characters and a
required combination of character types.
The password conditions are set in the security.conf file, which is stored in the following
locations:
In Windows:
installation-folder-for-Common-Component\conf\sec\security.conf
In Linux:
installation-directory-for-Common-Component/conf/sec/security.conf
The following table describes the password conditions set in the security.conf file:
