Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

3.1.114. 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.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
