2.3.1.119 passwordMinCategories (Password syntax)
This sets the minimum number of character categories that are represented in the password. The
categories are lower, upper, digit, special, and 8-bit. For example, if the value of this attribute
were set to 2, and the user tried to change the password to aaaaa, the server would reject the
password because it contains only lower case characters, and therefore contains characters from
only one category. A password of aAaAaA would pass because it contains characters from two
categories, uppercase and lowercase. The default is 3, which means that if password syntax
checking is enabled, valid passwords have to have three categories of characters.

Server enforces a minimum password of eight characters.
